Brilliant news, we have converted 50% of our electricity supply from brown to green! Which means instead of using electricity generated by burning coal and gas we are now using electricity from lovely 100% renewable biomass!
We currently spend over 5M per annum on electricity, so the even better news is the green energy is cheaper than the brown stuff, as it is exempt from Climate Change Levy (a tax on commercial electricity supplies).
Haven power will be supplying us electricity derived from 100% renewable biomass which is provided by their parent company Drax Power. Drax Power work directly with individual farmers and landowners to secure biomass from sustainable sources and to reinforce this commitment with an established sustainability policy.
Through undertaking the largest steam turbine modernisation project in UK history and the largest renewable, biomass co-firing project in the world, Drax is set to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by over three and a half million tonnes each year.
