Albion Community Power funds first biogas project

Albion Community Power (ACP), a local power generation company, has funded the development of a small scale landfill gas engine in Docking, Norfolk.

Docking will be developed in conjunction with ACP’s biogas partner, AlphaGen Renewables, which will oversee the installation and operation of a 50kW microgeneration landfill gas engine.
 
The project will generate power from the landfill gas resource at the site under a 20 year agreement with Norfolk County Council.
 
Docking represents the first project with AlphaGen Renewables and the first biogas project in the ACP portfolio.
 
ACP undertakes projects in biogas alongside wind, hydro and solar projects.
 
Richard Tipping, chairman of AlphaGen Renewables, says: “We are delighted to be partnering with ACP on this project, which is set to deliver strong returns. Renewables such as biogas are playing a growing role in the UK’s energy production.” 
 
David Gudgin, head of at renewables at Albion Ventures, says: “Biogas is an increasingly popular area of renewable energy and we are looking forward to working with AlphaGen both on this project and others in the future.”
