Evero’s Ince Bio Power plant sets new annual generation record, strengthening UK’s domestically sourced electricity supply

Evero’s Ince Bio Power facility has already surpassed its previous annual electricity generation record, with two months of the year still remaining.

The Cheshire-based facility achieved a new annual record for net electricity exports by October, exceeding its previous best year, recorded in 2023.

The achievement demonstrates the contribution that established domestic energy infrastructure can make to UK energy security, making productive use of the country's waste wood resources to generate electricity.

Ince Bio Power processes approximately 180,000 tonnes of domestically sourced Category C waste wood each year, diverting material that would otherwise go to landfill. The facility provides reliable baseload power, demonstrates how different renewable energy sources can complement one another, and supports a more diverse and resilient UK energy mix.

Angus Warner, Chief Operations Officer at Evero, said:

This is a fantastic milestone for the team at Ince and reflects the hard work that goes into improving and maintaining the facility's safety, environmental and power generation performance. It also demonstrates the value of the UK's waste wood resource and its ability to support domestic electricity generation while making better use of materials that would otherwise go to landfill.

Looking ahead, Ince Bio Power is also the planned site of Evero's InBECCS (Ince Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage) project, a mature project in development that will integrate carbon capture technology into the existing facility. The project is expected to capture and permanently store up to 250,000 tonnes of biogenic CO₂ annually through HyNet, enabling Ince to generate renewable electricity while delivering permanent carbon removals.
