The Evercreech site processes locally sourced food waste and is capable of injecting up to 700 cubic metres of biomethane per hour into the National Gas grid.
The facility produces enough renewable gas to supply the equivalent of up to 8,000 homes.
Ed Bastow, CEO of BioticNRG, commented on the acquisition: “We are pleased to secure Evercreech AD site to the group, it is an excellent strategic fit with our existing AD plants in the South West and allows us to significantly expand our operations and pool resources.”
Nine AD plants across the UK
The acquisition marks the latest addition to BioticNRG’s growing AD portfolio and brings the total number of plants owned by the company to nine across the UK.
Collectively, these sites generate approximately 395,707 MWh of energy per year.
The deal follows closely behind the company’s recent purchase of the Langage AD plant in Higher Challonsleigh, Plymouth, further expanding its footprint in the South West.
BioticNRG’s operational model spans both gas-to-grid and combined heat and power (CHP) facilities.
Its gas-to-grid sites inject biomethane into the national network while also supplying biogenic carbon dioxide to local users. Meanwhile, its CHP plants generate electricity for nearby businesses as well as export power to the grid.
In addition to its owned assets, the company provides full operational and site management services to four third-party AD facilities and owns five composting sites across the Midlands and East of England.
The business is supported by APG Asset Management, acting on behalf of its pension fund client ABP, with investments and activities managed by Palisade Real Assets, part of Palisade Investment Partners.
Scaling up for Simpler Recycling
BioticNRG’s acquisition of the Evercreech AD facility comes ahead of the expansion of Simpler Recycling legislation in March 2026, which will require local authorities to provide the separate collection of dry recycling, food waste and residual waste.
Councils have received over £88 million in funding allocations to support the rollout of weekly food waste collections in England.
This update is expected to hugely impact the amount of food waste available for processing, with tonnages to AD facilities expected to increase as more households are given access to separate food waste collection.
