International. Abengoa, an international company that applies technological solutions for sustainable development in the energy and environment sectors, and Toshiba Corporation have been chosen to build the Tees Renewable Energy plant. This will be the largest power and steam plant from newly built biomass in the world.
Located in the Port of Teesside, in Middlesbrough (United Kingdom), it will have a capacity of 299 MW of electricity and steam, both for self-sufficiency and to be exported to nearby industry and users. The amount of the engineering and construction contract will exceed € 600 M.
Abengoa will be responsible for carrying out the engineering, design and construction of the plant for client MGT Teesside. This project will use wood chips and certified sustainable forest resource chips from the United States and Europe as fuel and will be audited to ensure compliance with the strict criteria established by the UK's renewable energy incentives.
This project will provide renewable energy for the equivalent of at least 600,000 homes in the UK. During the construction phase, it is expected that up to 1,100 jobs will be generated.
