VIDA bioenergy has officially commenced construction on its second UK facility, VIDA bioenergy Wormslade, marking a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to delivering sustainable energy in the regions where its plants operate. Once operational, the facility is expected to generate enough energy to heat over 5,000 homes annually.
The groundbreaking ceremony was led by VIDA bioenergy CEO Lars Boetje, who was joined by Mark Newton, representing the Landowners, alongside project developer Biowatt and members of VIDA’s business development and construction teams. The facility is scheduled for completion within 18 months, with commercial operations set to begin in mid-2026.
Speaking at the event, Boetje emphasised the company’s dedication to sustainability, stating: “The Wormslade facility demonstrates our commitment to building a sustainable future. By converting agricultural by-products into clean biomethane, we’re not only supporting the UK’s renewable energy goals but also strengthening local communities and advancing the circular economy.”
VIDA bioenergy Wormslade will become the company’s third plant in Europe, joining its flagship operational facility in Tilburg, Netherlands, and the soon-to-be operational plant in Glentham, UK.
