Glas­ton­bury con­struc­tion firm Gem­ma Pow­er Sys­tems has com­plet­ed the 49.9 megawatt con­struc­tion of a bio­mass plant in Woodville, Texas, three months ahead of schedule.

The plant to be run by the East Texas Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive will oper­ate on chipped for­est waste. Con­struc­tion of the facil­i­ty began in 2012.

Finan­cial terms were not dis­closed. Gem­ma served as con­struc­tion manager.

Gem­ma’s sub­sidiary Gem­ma Plant Oper­a­tions will run the plant for the elec­tric coop­er­a­tive under a sep­a­rate contract.
