Examiner named for biomass plant builder

The High Court has confirmed the appointment of an examiner to the firm constructing a biomass-fuelled power plant in Co Mayo.

The plant located in Killala is designed to generate electricity and produce biomass woodchips, and was due to become operational in 2017.

Work stopped on the site in July due to funding shortages and the developer, Mayo Renewable Power, (MRP), is now insolvent and sought the protection of the courts.
