GRU Renewable Generating Station is a biomass power plant in Gainesville, Florida. It makes power by burning biomass, which means wood and other plant material used as fuel, and it is listed under biomass energy. Its name includes the word Renewable, which fits a plant that runs on biomass. Its one listed service is the biomass power plant itself. It handles hardwood and softwood, so both kinds of wood fall within what it takes. Its stated area is Alachua County. A power plant burns wood for fuel rather than turning it into lumber, which matters if your trees could be sawlogs. The plant suits a landowner in Alachua County with hardwood or softwood who wants to know whether a local power plant might take the wood. From bio-resource.com, read 18 October 2026.
