MOFFAT and District Probus Club visited the Stevens Croft site at Lockerbie last Wednesday.
The Lockerbie plant is the UK’s largest dedicated wood burning plan and has been built by a Siemens/Kvaerner consortium. It will burn 475,000t of sustainable wood fuel a year, including 95,000t of short rotation coppice. It will save up to 140,000t of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
The party was welcomed by the Eon station manager, Scott Robinson, and given an introductory talk which was then followed by a tour of the facility led by the deputy station manager, John True and his team.
The most educational and enjoyable visit finished off with coffee tea and biscuits provided by Eon.
New members are always welcome to join the club.
