Melton Renewable Energy Faces Plant Closures

Melton Renewable Energy says its five UK biomass power plants may close in March 2027 when Renewables Obligation subsidies expire unless the government provides transitional support. The sites burn poultry litter, straw and meat-and-bone meal and could begin a three-month consultation risking about 200 jobs and key processing capacity, including about 90% of Scotland's poultry litter. The firm reported £80m in ROC receipts and £169m turnover.
