Copenhagen Infrastructure II, a fund under Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, and through it PensionDanmark and 18 other institutional investors, has teamed with Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor (BWSC) to acquire the Kent biomass-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plant project.

The £160 million project will have a capacity of 27.8MW and will mainly be fuelled with locally sourced wood. The plant will be constructed by BWSC and is expected to be in operation in the summer of 2018.
