==Summary==
The first phase of this site, the [[Tilbury Green Power]] plant, was developed by [[Tilbury Green Power Limited]], the major shareholders at the time being the [[Electricity Supply Board]] ([[ESB]]) and the [[UK Green Investment Bank]] ([[GIB]]) (now called [[Green Investment Group]]) and in June 2021 the facility was acquired by two new shareholders - [[Altri SGPS S.A]] through its wholly owned subsidiary [[Greenvolt]] (51% of the shares) and [[Equitex]] (49% of the shares) for a value of £245.5m<ref>[http://www.altri.pt/~/media/Files/A/Altri-V2/press-release/2021/Altri20210607EN.pdf altri Press release June 2021]</ref>.

The original planning consent for the total site permitted the total capacity to be 60 MWe with an overall waste processing limit of 650,000 tonnes per year (part [[Wood Waste]] and part [[Solid Recovered Fuel]]. A variation to this planning consent was granted, which allows the site to operate up to 80 MWe and use up to 350,000 tonnes per annum [[Solid Recovered Fuel]]<ref>ENDS</ref>.

[[Tilbury Docks - Phase 2 (EfW)]] is an [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional [[combustion]] technology that is the second phase of a development. This second phase of the site is anticipated to process 350,000 tonnes per annum of [[residual waste]].  

In September 2022 it was announced that [[Viridor]] had acquired [[Thameside Energy Recovery Facility Ltd]] from [[ESB]], which owns the right to develop, construct and operate the [[Tilbury Docks - Phase 2 (EfW)]]<ref>https://www.viridor.co.uk/news-and-insights/viridor-enters-into-agreement-to-purchase-rights-to-develop-and-consruct-new-efw-from-esb/</ref>.


==Technology==
The plant technology will comprise standard moving [[grate]] technology. It was reported in January 2023 that the permit application varies the technology to a inclined moving [[grate]] with a throughput capacity of 43.3 tonnes per hour <ref>https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/viridor-applies-to-double-thameside-efw-capacity/</ref>.

==Construction==
The stated intention is for the plant to be operational by 2026. No further announcements have been made to date.

==Waste Input==
The plant is intended to run on [[Solid Recovered Fuel]] but it is expected that this might be broadened out to residual [[Household Waste]] and [[Commercial Waste]].
