The thermal efficiency of the plant in terms of heat recovered is 80%. The capital cost of the plant was approximately £10m and the district heating network a further £11.5m. The cost of installing the heat exchangers per propoerty to allow the heat to be used was between £2,000-£5,000.<ref>https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/221036/pb13889-incineration-municipal-waste.pdf</ref>. | The thermal efficiency of the plant in terms of heat recovered is 80%.
