Plant Description
Hitachi Zosen Inova (now Kanadevia Inova) delivered the plant under a Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contract (EPC) contractor.
The plant comprises two lines of a standard moving grate technology processing around 22.2 tonnes per hour of waste per line and producing super-heated steam and 41.6MWe gross, with a net export of 38MWe[2].
The technology is Kanadevia Inova's own EfW technology[3].
History
It reached financial close at the beginning of July 2021[1].
Full commissioning of the plant was planned for 2025[3] and the plant 'opened its doors' in late 2025[5].
The plant is designed to run on residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste and potentially dried Sewage Sludge.
In February 2021 Enfinium signed a 10 year waste supply contract for 250,000 tonnes per annum with Associated Waste Management (part of the Beauparc business,now Panda), which has a site a mile form the Skelton Grange site , for supply to this site and others in the Enfinium EfW portfoilio[4].
