PacifiCorp serves the energy demand of 1.9 million customers, with Active’s CoalSwitch supplying up to 900 tonnes of biomass feedstock from its Lumberton site for delivery by no later than 14th June 2021.

“We are delighted to have received our first order of CoalSwitch from PacifiCorp. This is a seminal moment for AEG as we deliver our first commercial product to a major US-based customer. We are on track with our business plan and we are working at great pace to commission the Plant and fulfil the interest for the Coalswitch product,” commented Active Energy’s CEO, Michael Rowan.
