Alternative energy firm links up with Agrikomp

CORK-based alternative energy company Kedco is set significantly to increase its presence in the British market by entering a joint venture with German power company, Agrikomp GmBH.

The new venture, to be called Agrikomp UK, will focus on generating renewable energy, in the form of electricity and heat, from recycled farm waste, specifically grass and slurry.

The company will have its headquarters in Cork, but will also have an office in Stoneleigh in Surrey and will initially employ six people in its first year of operation.
