Oran to build €35m renewable energy plant

CONSTRUCTION is underway on a €35 million renewable energy plant in Scotland by the Cork-based Oran group.

This biomass plant is on a 130-acre site in Kintore, Aberdeenshire and will create 25 skilled jobs.

Oran group business development director Pat Condon said: “This is big news in Scotland as it means Scottish agriculture sectors will no longer have to transport animal by-products south of the border from the very north-east of Scotland. Our new plant will generate energy from meat and bone-meal produced at our rendering plant also situated on the Kintore site.
