Seventy jobs will be created under plans unveiled today for a £120 million landmark plant in Wolverhampton that will power 47,500 homes.

The energy plant, known as Greenpower 54, is being lined up for land next to the i54 business park, and includes a 328ft tall chimney visible from the M54 motorway and A449 Stafford Road.

It would burn wood, bark, sawdust and other agricultural by-products to generate energy.

The plant is being proposed for Wobaston Road, Fordhouses, behind aerospace company HS Marston.
