Another dedicated biomass power station

I'm starting to loose count of the number of biomass stations which are either being proposed or built - especially recently.

The latest offereing from RWE will be for a 75MW unit. Still pretty small on the scale of thing things - the size of a couple of wind farms.

There is a good reason why so many new dedicated biomass power stations are being built at the moment - the government is changing the way in which renewable obligation certificates are distributed in April. This will mean that biomass burnt on its own will be worth three times the amount of biomass burnt with coal.
Of course the cost will be substantially more as well!

This is probably a step in the right dirrection. Excellent.
