Project is Third to be Turned Over in Q1 2019. B&W Vølund commences plant operations and maintenance under long-term contract.

Babcock [&] Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (B[&]W) announced today that its Denmark-based subsidiary, Babcock [&] Wilcox Vølund A/S (B[&]W Vølund) has successfully turned over operations of the Templeborough Biomass Power Plant to the customer, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners K/S.

The plant, located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England, will use wood fuel to generate 42 megawatts of green electricity to supply power to approximately 78,000 homes. B[&]W Vølund also will provide operations and maintenance services for the plant under a 15-year agreement.

Templeborough is the third of four Renewable energy projects B[&]W previously announced it expects to turn over to customers in the first and second quarters of 2019. It was referred to as the “fourth project” in B[&]W’s previous public disclosures about its European Renewable projects. B[&]W announced turnover of the Dunbar Power Plant Project in the U.K. in January and turnover of the Amager Bakke / Copenhill waste-to-energy plant in Denmark on Feb. 4.

“We are extremely pleased to provide Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners with industry leading, efficient and reliable biomass-to-energy technology that will provide needed power for the region and help to meet the U.K.’s objectives for renewable energy generation,” B[&]W Senior Vice President Jimmy Morgan said. “The Templeborough plant is another great example of the strength of the B[&]W team, our proven technology and our commitment to our customers. I would like to say thanks to our entire site team led by Project Director Keith Jones.”
