GOYH have received documentation with regard to proposed 300MW renewable energy plant in Selby.
Is the IPC the examining authority for this proposal?

Advice given

From 1st March 2010 applications for onshore generating stations with the capacity of more than 50MW has been a matter for the IPC.

However in the circumstance of this proposal, Drax Biomass (Immingham), it was submitted to the Secretary of State (DECC) on 16th October 2009 under s36 of the electricity Act and is therefore not a matter for the IPC.
