Billingham Biomass Power Station is a planned biomass power station, that is to be built on the River Tees at Billingham. It is to be built on the site of the former coal-fired North Tees Power Station. The station will have a generating capacity of 45 megawatts (MW). The station was granted planning permission in October 2009. The construction of the power station will cost £200 million, and is expected to be completed by 2012.
