Rose Energy will provide up to a third of Northern Ireland's sustainable energy obligations

Backed by a consortium of three major players in our agri-food industry, Rose Energy has submitted a project proposal to the government to build an energy plant which will convert agricultural biomass into electricity. The government has indicated its support in principle for the project, which will deliver up to a third of Northern Ireland's renewable energy obligations. This website aims to inform you of our plans for Rose Energy, why the plant is necessary and the benefits it will deliver. The power plant, which will be based near Glenavy in County Antrim, will represent a trendsetting example of sustainable electricity generation in Northern Ireland. Thanks to leading-edge technology, the plant will use renewable fuel - poultry bedding and meat and bone meal - to provide enough energy to power 25,000 homes. Rose Energy will become a major local supplier of renewable energy. For more information on the companies backing this project, please click on the links below:
