Kedco, (AIM:KED) the renewable energy group focusing on the production of clean energy in the UK and Ireland, is pleased to announce that its joint venture company Newry Biomass Limited ("NBL") has received provisional assurance from HM Revenue and Customs that NBL would be authorised to issue shares under the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) following receipt of a properly completed EIS1.
Gerry Madden CEO of Kedco commented:
"The Enterprise Investment Scheme is becoming an increasing part of the UK Coalition Government's 'growth agenda', a key economic policy.
