History
Originally developed as a Biomass EfW facility for waste wood, the project had been dormant since 2019.
Since then a number of parties had attempted to re-develop the site, including Port Clarence Energy Limited, before Vital Energi secured the site and funding to redevelop the site in late 2025.
Waste is to be supplied under 10 year exclusive arrangement with N+P[3].
