Packington Generation Plant Phase 3 - 8.5 MW Biomass Power Plant in the United Kingdom

Packington Generation Plant Phase 3 is a biomass power plant located in the United Kingdom, with coordinates 52.469700, -1.690800. The facility has an installed capacity of 8.5 MW and operates using waste as its primary fuel source. It is owned by Energy Developments (UK) / SITA UK and is currently operational. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the United Kingdom, which includes the EU Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU and Best Available Techniques (BAT) conclusions for waste-to-energy plants. Biomass power plants of this scale are typically designed to convert waste into electricity, contributing to waste management and renewable energy targets. As a waste-to-energy facility, Packington Generation Plant Phase 3 plays a role in reducing landfill waste while generating electricity. Its capacity of 8.5 MW places it in the small-scale category for power generation, serving local grid needs and supporting the UK's transition to low-carbon energy sources.

The plant uses waste as fuel, which can reduce methane emissions from landfills but produces CO2 and other pollutants. Its location in the UK means it must comply with strict emission limits under the Industrial Emissions Directive. The relatively small capacity (8.5 MW) limits its overall environmental footprint, but proximity to populated areas may require careful management of air quality impacts.
