Plant Description
The plant technology is stated as an advanced moving grate - Ramboll is acting as technical adviser[1] and ARUP as programme manager.
The plant commenced construction with initial ground preparation works in January 2019 by Buckingham Group Contracting.
Acconia were appinted the EPC contractor in 2022[2][3][4] and the budget is reported to have increased from £1.2bn to £1.5bn[5], which included the wider development of a MRF which was delivered in 2024.
History
The existing Edmonton facility was built in 1971 to primarily service the North London Waste Authority, providing capacity for residual Household Waste from Barnet,Camden, Enfield, Islington, Hackney, and Waltham Forest.
The Site has been at 'end of life' for some time, with this plant on the existing site, at a capacity of 700,000 tonnes per annum.
Delays suggest completion will be beyond the target of 2027, with some speculation that it will not be completed[5].
