Sector: Biomass • Location: Singleton, New South Wales, Australia
Source: Muswellbrook Chronicle
Plan to restart the Redbank power station near Singleton by modifying the plant to burn wood waste biomass fuel instead of coal. The project proposes to use up to 700,000 dry tonnes of biomass annually, including noxious weeds, to generate up to 151 MW of dispatchable energy operating 24/7. The project aims to create about 330 construction jobs and up to 60 operational jobs.
