France inaugurates tender for wood-fired cogeneration plants
09/02/2016
France will inaugurate a tender for wood-fired power plants for a total
of 50 megawatt (MW) per year for three years and a tender for
biogas-fired plants for 10 MW per year for three years, as stated by the
energy ministry on Monday.
The tenders - which will finalize by August 8 with project choice before
the year-end - will be open to wood-fired biomass plants with capacities
under 25 MW and biogas plants with capacities under 5 MW. One fifth of
the biomass tender will be reserved for projects smaller than 3 MW.
Three MW is almost equivalent to one big wind turbine. Bidders will have
to recommend wood-fired cogeneration plants with an energy efficiency
level of minimum 75 percent and will have to source wood from
sustainable forestry. The ministry stated the biogas installations
should not employ food crops and that it will approve projects using
animal manure. Last year, merely 1.4 percent of the electricity
generated derived from bio-energies, according to data from grid
operator RTE.
