Major private sector project exper6se in Yorkshire
E.ON announces construction plans for biomass energy plant in Sheffield
E.ON has today unveiled further details and images of its biomass-fired renewable energy plant, which will begin construction at the end of November, at Blackburn Meadows near Sheffield.
The £120m renewable energy plant will be set near the site of the old Tinsley Towers, adjacent to Meadowhall, and when operational will generate up to 30MW, enough to power 40,000 homes, by converting recycled waste wood into electricity.
e.on press release 14 November 2011 Nick Clegg officially opens Sheffield Solar Farm A new solar farm has been officially opened in Sheffield by Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg.
It's one of dozens of renewable energy projects springing up around South Yorkshire.
Solar panels, wind turbines, even water power are making an appearance as individuals and organisations try to save money and save the planet.
Sheffield Solar Farm is an array of 70m² photovoltaic panels on the roof of the University of Sheffield's Hicks Building on Hounsfield Road.
BBC 20 August 2010

Public Sector PlaNorm Project TechCity/DataCentre/Transforma6on
DescripKon & objecKve DEVELOP NEXT GENERATION PUBLIC SECTOR PLATFORM Commercial and public sector actors to develop an open reusable plaUorm for delivery of public sector services. Use Business Process Design Tool rather than Code Development. “App Store” to allow public sector customers to access applicaKons on demand, via the cloud. Proposed Sokware TesKng Centre to approve appropriate sokware for public sector use.
OBJECTIVES Public sector IT is in need of major change to improve service delivery and efficiency, and reduce cost. Public sector plaUorm to enable this transformaKon is a key TechCity project. Develop a flexible plaUorm, used to serve the South Yorkshire region and extend to offer soluKons to naKonal as well as internaKonal customers, thereby playing a role in the re‐balancing of the UK economy.
