The power plant, which is now producing power under the National Grid’s Short Term Operating Reserve (STOR) service, uses REG’s patented LF100 fuel recovered from recycled waste cooking oil.
Renewable Energy Generation chief executive officer Andrew Whalley said: "The addition of Whitemoor into our fleet of projects powered by our patented bio-liquid is significant.
"Not only does it increase REG Bio-Power’s operational output to 26MW but is also the first successfully built and commissioned project of its type in the UK.
"Our fleet is well-equipped to meet the demands of the STOR service and we aim to deploy further state-of-the-art rapid response generation plant to help address the UK’s current capacity shortage."
Renewable Energy Generation Ltd (REG) is an AIM listed renewable energy group. Its main business is the development, construction and operation of wind farms and generating power from refined used cooking oil.
Currently, REG Windpower operates 11 wind projects in Cambridgeshire, Cornwall, County Durham, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cumbria and Gwynedd, with a total capacity of 34.7MW as well as three projects on behalf of its partner BlackRock.
