Summary
THE businessman behind rejected plans for a biomass power station in Carmarthenshire has welcomed news that a similar plant has been given the go-ahead in South Wales.
The Prenergy plant, in Port Talbot, will be Britain's largest biomass power station -- and Clive Hughes hopes the company's success will re-ignite his own controversial power station plans for a site near Kidwelly and for another at Swansea's King's Dock. The Prenergy plant, which will burn wood chip to produce enough electricity to supply half a million homes, was given the go-ahead by the Environment Agency last week, in spite of a highprofile campaign to stop it. "At last there is recognition among the people who know about these things that the sort of technology we seek to bring to South Wales is clean and safe," said Mr Hughes, whose plans to build a smaller power station at the old Coedbach Washery site, and at King's Dock, were turned down by their respective councils in March. "My plan has been on hold -- not abandoned completely as some might suggest. This decision by the Environment Agency gives me great encouragement the Coedbach plan can still proceed."See the full content of this document
