Our expertise means we consistently achieve excellent plant availability across the 12 plants we operate. This is achieved through an Operations team of circa. 70 skilled engineers, technicians, and operators. In addition to a specialist CHP servicing team, we currently managing a fleet of 12 Jenbacher engines, allowing us to bring response times down to as little as an hour.

We operate and maintain all the plants to an affordable exceptional standard. Each plant has a dedicated team of operators, supported by a regional multi-skilled team of engineers and maintenance technicians. Allowing the team to cover most planned and unplanned site events in house. Across all engineering equipment found on a site; electrical, control and instrumentation, mechanical and civil engineering, design, and project management, safely and with minimum downtime. In addition, the Engineering team are able to perform specialist services in areas such as equipment calibration and COMPEX.

5 of our plants operate under permits from the Environment Agency or the Scottish Environment Protection Agency. As well as securing the required permits, we manage all of their ongoing compliance requirements.

Our close links with Trade Associations and Government also mean we are on top of current and upcoming policy issues and we have been involved in industry led best practice on farming schemes, health and safety, planning and voluntary guidelines for crop feedstocks.

Tariffs

Our in-house policy team is highly experienced in securing tariffs. Our background with both the Feed in Tariff and Renewable Heat Incentive scheme is expansive and includes securing;

• Feed in Tariff – Combined Heat and Power units (CHPs)

• Feed in Tariff – Organic Rankine Cycle generators (ORCs)

• Renewable Heat Incentive – Biomethane injection

• Renewable Heat Incentive – Biogas combustion

Our experience reflects the different range of sites developed to date including district heating systems, feedstock pre-treatment, digestate drying and private electrical supplies to factories and offices.

We also have significant expertise with ongoing compliance and obligations. Sustainability reporting requirements have expanded in recent years and in response we developed a new bespoke biomethane greenhouse gas calculator in conjunction with a large consultancy. This is now used industry wide.
