of
Energy
and
Climate
Change
(DECC)
granted
permission
for
the
facility
at
Royal
Portbury
Dock
in
the
Port
of
Bristol.
The
German
group’s
E.ON
Climate
and
Renewables
division
expects
to
power
160,000
homes
from
the

It
will
be

virgin
wood,
dedicated
energy
crops
and

previously
said
it
could
begin
operations
at
the
new
biomass

as
early
as
2015
once
