Bord na Móna’s Edenderry power plant looks set to transition to 100% biomass in 2024 after successfully taking part in EirGrid’s recent electricity capacity auction.
It secured 96MW of capacity for the existing Edenderry plant, which was originally powered by a combination of peat and biomass.
The plant will be operated from 2024 until the end of 2030, exclusively using biomass.
