German power company Eon has reached an agreement with German Pellets to sell its Belgium 556 MW Langerlo coal-fired power plant. According to Argus media, it seems that already a share sale and purchase agreement has been signed by Eon and German Pellets. As Argus reports, Eon expects the deal to close in the upcoming months. Financial details were not disclosed.

German Pellets plans to convert the coal-fuelled power plant into biomass. Eon has been trying to convert the plant for several years, but in October 2014 decided to sell it. 

German Pellets initiated last month the second phase of its wood pellet plant in Urania (Lousiana). Upon completion of the plant, German Pellets will have an annual production capacity of around 1.7 million tonnes of wood pellets in the USA, which will be mainly exported to Europe.
