Steven's Croft is the biggest biomass plant in Scotland and generates enough electricity to power the equivalent of 70,000 homes every year.

The £90m scheme, which was opened by First Minister for Scotland Alex Salmond, displaces up to 140,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases every year.

Steven's Croft also saw a further significant investment in local and regional economy. It created 40 direct jobs and helps to maintain up to 300 indirect jobs in the local forestry industry. Local farming also benefits from the long term, low risk energy crop initiative developed by E.ON.

In December 2007, Steven's Croft was named Scotland's best renewable energy project at Scottish Renewables' Green Energy Awards.
