In 2014 the government introduced the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme as a partial successor, but this overwhelmingly favours large-scale electricity generation. It provides very little support for smaller biomass energy producers and wood waste processors. This announcement from the government confirms that no provisions will be made for small biomass operators – a decision […]

What Caused the 2025 UK Wood Waste Backlog? Synchronised Plant Maintenance and Outages Most biomass energy facilities intentionally schedule maintenance such as repairs, boiler cleaning, and grid updates for early spring. When electricity demand drops after winter, energy prices dip, and switching off generators carries lower financial risk. However in March 2025, an unusually high […]
