Plans to build new power plant near to racecourse unveiled
A special kind of power plant that can generate enough energy to power 700 homes a year is being planned next to Chelmsford Racecourse.
Moulsham Hall Farms Ltd and easyPower International are proposing the development of a 1MW electricity generating plant – powered by solid recovered fuel (SRF) – on land adjacent to the Chelmsford City Racecourse at Great Leighs.
Essex County Council (ECC) has been requested a formal screening opinion for the proposed development in order to determine whether the proposed development needs an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as part of a planning application.
