Last week, Associated British Ports (ABP) announced that the Barry Biomass 2 facility in Barry, Wales, has been submitted for demolition, bringing a long-standing planning row plus various other plant-related issues to a dramatic end.
The demise of the plant comes, not only following a reportedly lengthy battle with Vale of Glamorgan Council over the way the incinerator was built but also following widespread opposition to the site from environmental campaigners and concerned residents in the local area.
Perhaps an inevitable climax in retrospect, it seems as though the plant was plagued with challenges from the outset as early in 2025 Aviva Investors, who were behind the igasification project, announced that the plant’s operators were going into liquidation.
