About Ixora Energy

With 97,000 employees worldwide, ENGIE is also committed to inclusiveness and diversity, where everyone can forge their own career path, improve on their skills, and continually enhance their expertise. We work in a caring, flexible, and secure environment that encourages personal and professional development.

ENGIE operates several anaerobic digestion (AD) plants across Europe, with Ixora Energy currently operating several AD plants across the South West UK, supplying green energy to local homes and businesses.

We have been closely involved in the development of the industry, supporting exciting research projects and championing innovation.

2010 – Members of the team identify AD technology as an opportunity to add “green value” to residues from the food and agricultural industry. They gain an understanding of technology and working practices from continental Europe.

2013 – Funding partners are identified, planning permission is gained and contracts are exchanged that enable the start of construction and major roll out of AD facilities.

2015 – Construction is now in full flow across many sites. These sites are taken through the commissioning process and locked into the energy networks before commencing operations.

2017 – The team and AD sites come together under the Ixora Energy brand and the company is formed with the objective to optimise operations for AD plants.

2019 – We started achieving industry-leading availability on our managed facilities and reviewing innovative technology to deliver greater returns.

2020 – Our company moves into the Irish market, providing experienced management services to one of the largest facilities in the country. In recognition of our success, various partnership agreements were developed with other industry-leading companies to broaden our offering.

2022 – We work in partnership with universities and businesses to explore the untapped potential of AD. Since then, we have continued to develop these ideas into full-scale trials.

2023 – ENGIE acquired Ixora Energy, allowing for more efficient distribution of our AD plants’ green energy across the world.

2024 – Rainbarrow Farm joined the ENGIE family, adding another anaerobic digestion plant to Ixora’s growing UK portfolio. We are looking forward to increasing our portfolio even further.
