Planned

The project involves refitting the shuttered Redbank coal-fired power station to burn waste wood biomass instead of coal. The plant will have a rated capacity of up to 151 MW and will operate 24/7, burning 700,000 dry tonnes of biomass annually. The project aims to count as zero emissions under Australian rules by using biomass that would otherwise rot on the ground.
