Enviva signs off-take agreement with Lynemouth

Lynemouth Power plans to convert its 420 megawatt coal facility in the U.K. to wood pellet fuel by the end of 2017. Deliveries under this contract are expected to commence in the third quarter of 2017, ramp to full supply of 800,000 metric tons per year in 2018, and continue through the first quarter of 2027. The contract volumes are denominated in U.S. Dollars except 160,000 metric tons per year denominated in British Pound Sterling. This transaction significantly extends the weighted average remaining term of the Partnership’s off-take contracts to eight years as of June 1, 2016.

“Our strategy is to fully contract our production capacity, and this contract provides additional length and diversification to our sales book,” said John Keppler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud that a world-class energy group like EPH selected Enviva to supply more than half of the wood pellets required annually by its Lynemouth facility, further reinforcing our position as a preferred supplier to top-tier biomass projects.”
