BioticNRG has acquired 100% of the Evercreech anaerobic digestion (AD) plant in Somerset, taking its owned UK portfolio to 9 AD plants. The asset has a gas injection capacity of 700 m³/hr, supplying up to 8,000 homes via the grid while processing regional food waste.

The deal is not about capacity addition. It is about regional density. BioticNRG is consolidating assets in the South West to operate them as a cluster, not as standalone plants.

That matters because AD economics are operational, not just contractual. Feedstock sourcing, logistics, and uptime improve when assets are geographically concentrated. Pooling resources across nearby plants reduces transport costs, stabilises input supply, and improves plant utilisation-directly impacting margins.

The Evercreech site fits into an existing footprint, allowing BioticNRG to integrate operations rather than build new ones. This lowers execution risk compared to greenfield expansion and avoids permitting delays. Backing from APG / ABP further signals long-term capital targeting scalable, operational platforms.

The structure is consistent with how capital is moving in bioenergy-away from single-asset bets toward clustered portfolios with operational leverage. In a feedstock-constrained market, control over local supply chains is becoming the differentiator.
