BRUSSELS, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- A European regulator said the benefits of moving a British power plant from coal to biomass outweigh any concerns about competition stemming from state support.
The British government in December 2014 notified the European Commission of plans to subsidize the conversion of the coal-fired Lynemouth power plant, operated by German energy company RWE, to biomass. The project is slated to receive state support until 2027.
