The biomass plants will create up to 760 jobs, mainly in rural areas, according to Ence.
One of these plants, called Melgar de Fernamental Ence, will have an installed capacity of 20 MW, sufficient to meet the electricity demand of 145,000 people. According to Ence the Melgar plant has a strong component of job creation and wealth in its environment.
Ence will invest 65 million euros for the construction of the Melgar plant, to which is added forestry investment in energy crops.
