FLI Energy completed construction of the Tamar Energy’s Basingstoke Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Facility in the UK’s Hampshire a month ahead of schedule. The plant and entire site infrastructure was designed and constructed by FLI Energy on a turn-key basis to generate 1.5 MW of renewable energy.
The AD facility will use about 30,000 tons of food waste annually to produce 1.5 MW of renewable energy, enough power to provide electricity for 3,000 homes.
In 2012 Tamar Energyreceived £97 million in initial financial backing from investors to build a network of 40 AD plants in various locations around the UK by 2018. The Basingstoke Anaerobic Digestion Facility is the first one of those projects to achieve construction completion.FLI Energy’s Managing Director Declan McGrath commented: “I am proud to have participated in this great project, and we are looking forward to continued collaboration replicating this success on the delivery of many more AD projects, as part of Tamar’s plan to roll-out a national network of plants.”
