25MW Rio Bravo Rocklin biomass plant in California named a “top renewable power plant”

In California, the 25 MW Rio Bravo Rocklin biomass power plant, which uses 240,000 tons of wood waste as feedstock, has been named a “top renewable power plant” by POWER magazine.

“By 2008, the 19-year-old wood-fired Rio Bravo Rocklin Power Station’s operating performance had been significantly degraded by boiler erosion and corrosion caused by (among many other problems) poor fuel,” Power magazine said. Owners Constellation Energy and North American Power Group invested $14 million in restoring the plant, which sells power to PG&E in California.
