Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Newhaven has permitted operational capacity of 242,000 tonnes per annum, and is owned and operated by Veolia. Delivery of waste is primarily by road, and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste.
History
The Newhaven facility was built to service primarily residual Household Waste (and similar Commercial Waste from the local area) based on a 30 year PFI contract between Veolia and East Sussex and Brighton signed in June 2011 and completing in 2033 [1].
Plant
Built by the predecessor of Hitachi Zosen Inova, Von Roll Inova, under a Design & Build EPC-turnkey contract in a consortium with Hochief UK for civil engineering. Construction started in 2008 and was delivered 2011 at a reported[2] GBP £260m capital cost. The plant comprises 2 lines of 14.5 tonnes/hour design capacity capable of treating 226,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology, air cooled, Hitachi Zosen Inova Grate, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on residual Household Waste and up to 10% Clinical Waste with a CV of between 7.0 and 12.5MJ/kg to deliver 19.25MWe of power.
Local Authority Data
The table below lists those local authorities who have recorded their tonnage on WasteDataFlow as sending their Waste to this site (either directly or via a transfer station) for the most recent financial year, data was updated on 2023-04-26. The tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the EA statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018). The total Local Authority waste received by the plant in the period was: 216,813.9t
A 'zero return' or a below expected return, when compared to the EA Data below indicates that either:
- no local authority tonnage was recorded/no tonnage was sent to the site in the period (but has been listed as it may have previously received tonnage from a local authority) or
- a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage or
- a lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of a local authority splitting their tonnage over multiple sites, having less tonnage to send than might be anticipated or
- it may be a new plant being in 'ramp up' towards full capacity after construction or
- may be a result of plant shut down and subsequent re-start in a year or
- the local authority may not have correctly entered the site's details on WasteDataFlow
| Authority | Tonnage |

| Brighton and Hove Council | 75498.072 |
| Croydon LB | 618.880 |

| Medway Borough Council | 422.790 |

Waste Tonnage, By Origin
The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit BV8067IL, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data was last updated on October 2024. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: 209,783.09t.
Where this tonnage exceeds that reported in year of the corresponding annual report, this may be due to the following reasons:
- Tonnage may have been received but not incinerated, i.e. the material is held pending incineration (the operator return to the EA reports as received whereas the annual report focuses on when the waste is incinerated.)
- Material may have been received into the site but treated in some other way than incineration.
- Material may have been received on the but transferred out of site for disposal/treatment at another site rather than incineration on the site.
