Gas and electricity plant to be built next to canal in Bilston
Revised plans to build an energy storage unit and natural gas and electricity plant next to the Birmingham Canal in Bilston, near Wolverhampton, have been approved by the city council.
The application, made by Victoria Saunders from Conrad Energy, is for a natural gas-fuelled standby electricity generation plant and battery storage on land near Anchor Lane.
The facility will be known as the Anchor Lane Energy Centre.
Six previous applications were submitted in 2017 that separated the site into three areas. Each application proposed the siting of a small-scale plant on one of these areas. The first three were withdrawn in March 2018. The revised application submitted this week includes new drawings.
