ST20 Lower Reule Bioenergy Ltd, Brookfields Farm, Gnosall, Stafford

Lower Ruele Bioenergy is a freehold electric to grid AD plant with a generation capacity of 1.4MW which was constructed by Weltec in 2010. A food waste reception building has recently been added to provide a de-packing capability which requires completion and commissioning. At present the plant is in a deep maintenance state.

The plant's total CHP generation capacity is 1.4MW with grid connection agreements for 100kVA import and 1400kW export capacity. An Initial feasibility DAS from Cadent has confirmed up to 1,000 m3/h of gas to grid capability to a nearby MP line to the north of the site, which offers a potential expansion opportunity.

A new food waste reception building has recently been constructed and is ready for de-packing equipment to be installed and services to be commissioned.

The facility is eligible to receive Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) until 2036 with electricity generation qualifying for Renewable Obligation Certificate (ROC) until 2030.

Daily O&M monitoring and activities are undertaken under a contract with Eco Verde Energy Ltd.

The facility is located c.9 miles to the east of Stafford and approximately 7 miles to the east of Newport with the company operating from a freehold site at Lower Reule Farm. The A518 is a short distance to the north with access available to the M6 motorway immediately to the south of Stafford
