Renewable Energy We have been investing in renewable energy assets since 2012. Due to the breadth of investments, we now have, a circular economy has been created within the estate to support farming and business. Our AD produces the heat, power and fertiliser to enable the farming and commercial property to thrive on cheap, renewable products.
The AD Plant In 2014 we commissioned an anaerobic digestion (AD) plant in a joint venture. The plant is fuelled using food waste collected from a 100-mile radius of Codford. No silage or agricultural products are used. The 3.6MWe plant takes 100,000t of waste, converts it to biogas and generates electricity through three Jenbacher biogas engines (enough for 3,700 homes or 11,000 people). The electricity is sold into the grid. The biproduct of the process is digestate. This is a PAS110 accredited product used as fertiliser, it is stored in lagoons and spread onto our growing arable crops. To find out more please visit
