Biomass power stations in Scotland

3 biomass power stations with a combined 120 MW of installed capacity, from the UK government's register of power stations (DESNZ, DUKES table 5.11) and Octary's own records. Open any station for its capacity, operator, location map, nearby stations and source.

Wind, solar and hydro sites have their own sections: wind farms, solar farms and hydro and pumped storage.

Biomass power stations burn organic material such as wood pellets, energy crops or agricultural residues to raise steam for a turbine.
