The new plant will draw on the Highlands forest resources
|
Plans for a £24m wood-fuelled energy plant in Invergordon have been approved by Ross and Cromarty councillors.
Northern Irish company Balcas secured more than £5m of government funding for its proposals last year.
Once completed, the combined heat and power plant will be capable of heating 20,000 homes a year.
Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) will invest £5.5m in the plant on the former Alcan smelter site at the Cromarty Industrial Park.
The project must get a permit to operate from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) before proceeding.
