HELIUS Energy, a biomass specialist, said it is on track to start producing energy from a plant in the Highlands in the first half of next year and has won further support from one of the Scottish entrepreneurs which back the firm.
AIM-listed Helius Energy said work on a 7.2-megawatt plant in Rothes is progressing well, on time and on budget.
A collaboration between Helius, a group of distillers and Holland's Rabo bank, the plant will generate energy from by-products of the Scotch whisky industry such as the residue of grain husks. The £60 million plant will be capable of generating enough power for 9000 homes.
