Orient Green Power Company to expand biomass power generation capacity

Orient Green Power Company is planning to add over 45 MW of biomass power plant generation capacity by March 2013, to achieve its novel approach to secure at least a portion of its biomass fuel wood by raising energy plantations in its wind farms.

The company, which has over 325 MW of wind farms and is expanding, has windmills installed on over 1,500 acres. The land will be potentially used to raise woody plants to fuel its biomass power plants. These power plants also use agricultural waste, such as coconut husk, shell and other fibrous material as fuel.
