("REG" or the "Company")
Five year contract with Port of Dover to reduce carbon footprint by installing
REG Bio-Power CHP
Renewable Energy Generation Limited (AIM: RWE), the natural energy group, today
announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, REG Bio-Power, has signed a five
year contract with the Port of Dover to supply electricity and heat from its
biofuel-fired combined heat and power system at the Port.
REG Bio-Power is meeting a growing demand for the generation of decentralised
electricity on industrial and commercial sites. The company has a proprietary
fuel, known as LF100, which is refined from used vegetable cooking oil recovered
from local authorities, caterers and restaurant chains to produce renewable,
carbon-neutral electricity.
The agreement with the Port of Dover, REG Bio-Power's first independent
commercial CHP contract, has fixed electricity prices for the first three
years. The heat and electricity produced makes the scheme eligible for two
Renewable Obligation Certificates per MWh.
Under the terms of the agreement with the Port of Dover, REG Bio-Power will
install a 150kW Volvo Genset to supply a proportion of the Port's annual heat
and electrical demand, which totals around 6-8MW. Upon the successful
implementation of this project, both parties have agreed to discuss a further
roll out of similar operations across the Port.
Construction of the plant will start in December and is expected to be completed
in January.
Andrew Whalley, CEO of REG, commented:
"As energy efficiency and the environment become increasingly important to
consumers, UK businesses are responding. Our CHP systems allow businesses to
demonstrate corporate responsibility, reduce costs and enhance energy security
and reliability. We are delighted to announce our first commercial CHP contract
with the Port of Dover and to be able to demonstrate how the use of our
biofuel-fired CHP technology can make a significant reduction to carbon
emissions."
Bob Goldfield, Chief Executive, Port of Dover, said:
"As the operator of Europe's busiest ferry port, Dover has been a leader in
environmental practice within the industry. Dover was the first port in Europe
to be accredited to the Ports Environmental Review System in 2002 and the first
port to be re-accredited in 2005. Indeed, 2005 was also the year when we entered
into a partnership with the Carbon Trust and Energy Management Systems to start
the campaign to reduce our carbon footprint. The agreement with REG shows our
ongoing commitment to achieving this aim."
