Twinwoods Heat and Power is an OFGEM registered plant. Our total installed capacity (TIC) is 3570KWe of useful power and the plant runs 24/7 at 92% availability.
This all goes to providing a reliable source of 180,000MWh/year for the National Grid.
Twinwoods Heat & Power Ltd. was founded in 2009 and is situated in a self-contained unit on the Twinwoods Business Park (the former RAE Bedford Site). You can view our waste carriers licence here.
Commercial operation of TWHPL began in 2015 and it has grown into one of the leading independent biomass with a reputation for exceptional service.
By incinerating waste wood electricity is generated, which is then exported into the National Grid. This is a carbon neutral, renewable source of energy, using waste that would otherwise end up in landfill.
Twinwoods Heat and Power is a biomass plant meaning that the incineration of wood is used to generate electricity. The heat generated from burning wood turns water into steam which in turn powers a turbine, generating clean green electricity.

Our Technology
The waste wood chip is burned on a walking grate with primary air at around 13000m3/hr in a 10m tall furnace which is 4m wide. The boiler generates 45 Bar of steam at 380°C which then goes to our 3570kW turbine driving a 11kV 4MVA alternator at 1500 RPM set to match the National Grid frequency of 50 Hz.
The exhaust steam is condensed back to water and pumped back into the boiler to be reused as steam. Flue gasses pass through a high temperature filter system before exhausting safely and clean to atmosphere.
Remember, it’s your legal duty
It is your responsibility to ensure your waste wood and hazardous waste is disposed of correctly.
As one of a very few permitted facilities in the UK to process hazardous wood, you’ll have peace of mind that Twinwoods Heat and Power Ltd will not only keep you compliant, but environmentally friendly too.
