Under the contract Saxlund will manage all aspects of design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of the plant with a biomass solution.

The solution would guarantee to deliver at least 8,000 hours operation between shutdown inspections.

Twinwoods Heat & Power will use the clean burn solution to finalize development of their 3.4MWe waste wood biomass power station, which is due to go live in 2015.

Capable of produce over 27,000 MWh of electricity and 8000 MWhr district heating annually, the combined heat and power (CHP) plant would be a locally important source of renewable energy, with significant advantages to the local community.

Twinwoods Heat & Power CEO Marcus Buckle said: "I am confident that the new Power Station will become an important contributor to the local community in terms of new jobs created, energy produced and the volume of waste wood the plant will divert from landfill each year."

Saxlund International managing director Matt Drew said: "Twinwoods Heat & Power is a perfect example of a local, small-scale, BioEnergy power station using waste wood fuel to deliver energy and hot water for local commercial and domestic users.

"Solutions like these capitalise on waste wood which would otherwise be exported and are driven in part by the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) which offers considerable benefits to operators and investors."
