New Power Plant To Be Installed At Michelin UK Plant
London-PowerGen CHP Ltd is to construct a new £40million combined heat and power (CHP) plant at Michelin’s UK manufacturing site in Stoke-on-Trent. The building of the site is viewed by Michelin as a vote of confidence in the plant, which is at present shredding 473 jobs from its 2700 workforce. It is anticipated that the CHP plant will be operational by the end of 2001 and will meet Michelin’s energy requirement for at least 15 years, under a long term energy supply agreement.
