==History==
==History==
The Bolton facility was built to primarily service residual [[Household Waste]] from [[Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council]] under a long term contract in 1970. The plant was refurbished in 1996 through to 2000 to comply with new emissions standards with the intention of processing up to 100,000 tonnes per year and generating 8MWe <ref>[https://www.recycleforgreatermanchester.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/TRF-Case-Study-R4GM-Higher-level-fact-sheets-August-2014_Layout-1-2.pdf: Greater Manchester Fact Sheet]</ref>. After a fire in September 2017 there were issues re-opening, which initially occurred in July 2018 without energy generation<ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/bolton-efw-back-online-next-month/ Letsrecycle Article]</ref>.

==Plant==
==Plant==
The plant comprises standard combustion, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on primarily residual [[Household Waste]] and similar residual [[Commercial Waste]].

{{EfWLAData|EPR={{#var: epr}}}}
Tonnage reported through the [[EA]] for 2018 was not recorded, but tonnage through [[WasteDataFlow]] suggests tonnage of around 49,000 tonnes was processed in 2018.
{{EAIn|EPR={{#var: epr}}}}
The following data comes from [[WasteDataFlow]] for the financial year 2018/19 and represents those local authorities recorded as putting tonnage into the site (either directly or via a transfer station). The 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). A 'zero return' below indicates no local authority tonnage was recorded, most likely a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage. Equally, lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of either a new plant being in 'ramp up' towards full capacity after construction, or may be a result of plant shut down and subsequent re-start in a year.
