A Biomass Waste [[Combined Heat and Power | combined heat and power]] (CHP) EFW facility utilising a feedstock of [[Wood Waste]] to generate 29 MWe and up to 25 MWth. The facility is located on the site of the former Tinsley cooling towers in Sheffield, and the [[Wood Waste]] is sourced locally within a 50-mile of the plant. The generated electricity is exported to the national grid and the heat is supplied as hot water to local businesses through a district heating network, including the Sheffield Arena and Forgemaster Steel Works<ref name="ref1" >E.ON, 2020.

==Tonnage Input/Fuel== | |||
== | The tonnage received by the plant in the most recent [[Annual Sustainability Report]] for 2018-19<ref>[https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications-and-updates/biomass-sustainability-dataset-2018-19 Biomass Sustainability Dataset 2018-19]</ref> was reported by [[Ofgem]] as follows: | ||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
|- | |||
! Biomass !! Tonnage (2018-19) | |||

The [[Wood Waste]] is received from a variety of sources. The [[Wood Waste]] tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the [[EA]] statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018) and was '''214,135''' tonnes. | |||
