	The six boilers and turbines at the SH&P energy center can operate on a wide variety of fuels, ranging from renewable sources such as wood and fibre through to natural gas, coal and distillate. A small amount of natural gas and coal is used to control the boilers. As part of the plant, steam from two wood-fired [[~~fluidised bed~~]] boilers is directed to a 35 MW pass out steam turbine. A new multi-fuelled vibrating [[grate]] boiler dedicated to burning fibre fuel pellets and wood chip, was commissioned based on a contract under the 4th [[RO\|Non-Fossil Fuel Obligation]] scheme<ref name="REN" />.

			==Local Authority Users==

			In addition to any local authority users the companies and businesses located on the same trading estate as SH&P can direct their waste wood, non-recyclable paper, packaging and cardboard to the SH&P plant, thus reducing waste disposal costs and diverting a reusable resource from consuming landfill space. Fibre Fuel Limited, a subsidiary company of SH&P, coverts this non-recyclable fibre, such as waxed cardboard, laminates, photographic paper and mixed papers, into fuel cubes. To improve the calorific value of the fibre fuel, non-PVC plastics are added, up to a volume of 15%. The Fibre Fuel cubes are then used in the SH&P plant, a process which avoids 100,000 tonnes of material being disposed of in landfill<ref name="REN" />.

			The six boilers and turbines at the SH&P energy centre can operate on a wide variety of fuels, ranging from renewable sources such as wood and fibre through to natural gas, coal and distillate. A small amount of natural gas and coal is used to control the boilers. As part of the plant, steam from two wood-fired fluidized bed boilers is directed to a 35 MW pass out steam turbine. A new multi-fuelled vibrating grate boiler dedicated to burning Fibre Fuel and wood chip, was commissioned based on a contract under the 4th Non-Fossil Fuel Obligation scheme<ref name="REN" />.
