About Margam Green Energy Plant

Schroders Greencoat, a specialist fund manager dedicated to the renewable energy infrastructure sector, owns the Margam Green Energy Plant.  With offices in London and Dublin, Schroders Greencoat  has approximately £7 billion under management, making it one of the largest dedicated fund managers in Europe.

Schroders Greencoat is one of Europe’s largest fund managers focusing exclusively on investment in clean energy infrastructure. It raises long-term capital to invest in renewable energy and infrastructure projects in the UK, Europe and the USA – wind farms, biomass power stations, bio-energy, solar farms and renewable heat.

Originally, the Margam project was a joint venture between Cardiff-based energy development company, Eco2 Limited and local company Western Logs Group. Eco2 has responsibility for the plant’s overall operations, and fuel supply management.

The waste wood that fuels the Margam Green Energy Plant is supplied by Seras (formerly known as Esken) on a long-term contract. The waste wood is  sourced and supplied by Seras from across the country, and is transported by HGV (see FAQs section).
