Comm Comm UK is working alongside Barry Biomass to implement a programme of community relations for a renewable energy plant located in Barry, South Wales. The energy plant was constructed in 2016 and will operate by converting waste wood chippings into electricity through the process of gasification.

Barry Biomass is currently going through a pre-commissioning stage and Comm Comm UK is working closely with the plant to establish long-lasting relationships with residents and local businesses.

There are currently concerns within the local community regarding the environmental damage the energy plant could create. Comm Comm UK is implementing a programme of consultation to liaise with members of the local community to address their concerns and reassure them about the safety of the renewable energy plant.
