==Summary==
An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional [[combustion]] technology, located at the site of the old coal fired power station in Ratcliffe-on-Soar. The [[East Midlands Energy Re-Generation Centre (EMERGE)| EMERGE]] [[EfW]] Plant is forecast to have a capacity of c.500,000 tonnes per annum generating 49.9MW with around 43.4MW of electricity exported. The site has been developed by [[Uniper]] with planning consent granted in July 2021<ref>[https://www.uniper.energy/emerge#projectdocuments Uniper Project Website]</ref> and the [[Environmental Permit]] consultation ran between January and February 2022<ref>https://consult.environment-agency.gov.uk/psc/ng11-0ee-uniper-uk-limited-draft-decision/ </ref> and was issued in early March.

The [[Uniper]] website suggests construction would commence 2023, with full commercial operation in early 2026<ref>[https://www.uniper.energy/emerge#projectdocuments Uniper Project Documents Website Accessed January 2022]</ref>.

==Technology==
The moving-[[grate]] [[combustion]] technology is not defined as yet in the public domain or in the [[Environmental Permit]] application. The design set out in the [[Environmental Permit]] draft decision notice is based upon 7,884 hours per year of operation at a nominal 33 tonnes per line (equating to 2 lines) with a [[R1]] rating of 0.76 (classifying it as [[Recovery]] facility).

==Construction==
The [[EPC]] and Operational and Management arrangements are not presently in the public domain. 

==Waste Input==
The facility [[Environmental Permit]] maximum tonnage is 524,550 tonnes per annum, with the planning document suggesting a target tonnage of 472,100 tonnes per annum at the target [[NCV]]. It is anticipated to accept [[Residual Waste|residual waste]] as feedstock, [[RDF]] and potential residues from [[treatment]] processes including [[AD]] and [[MBT]].
