Solar 21 seeks funding to build 22MW biomass plant in UK

Solar 21, an Irish renewable energy company, is set to build a 22MW biomass power plant near Hull in England.

The company has acquired the project rights and is seeking to raise €60 million through a fundraising round for the scheme.

The Hull plant is the first in a pipeline of five projects in partnership with energy recovery systems company Heat Recovery Solutions, Solar 21 says.

The project, on which construction work began in last October, will benefit from revenue backed by the UK government.
