MRC Energy Limited is a subsidiary
company of The Marine Resource Centre Limited.
MRC Energy has a hydro-electric scheme which generates 350 kw of
power for the whole site as well as the export of power to the
National Grid.
-
The scheme was installed as part of the development of a large state
of the art salmon Smolt production unit capable of producing up to
10 million juvenile salmon. Water will be piped from the MRC owned
reservoir, via the turbine, to the salmon Smolt unit.
- In addition to
the existing hydro-electric scheme, planning permission has been
granted for a 4.7MWe Biomass Power Generation Plant located on
site. The process of power generation by this method uses
locally chipped sustainable timber and will generate heat as a
by-product. Not only will the facility generate all the power
requirements for the site and additional capacity to be exported
to the National Grid, but it will also provide heat to the 6
acres of buildings on site at MRC.
-
- Government
funding is being investigated at present and once the facility
is in place, it is considered that the combined heat and power
will be an economic driver to locating to the MRC site.
MRC Energy also provide consultancy services for those who wish to set
up renewable energy schemes. For further information on this
service please contact
Martin Waterhouse.
