The Energy Recovery Plant in Lerwick is operated by [[Shetland Isles Council]] which burns over 23,000 tonnes of waste per year and generates 7MW of energy providing heat and hot water for the Lerwick District Heating System which is operated by the [[Shetland Heat Energy and Power Ltd]] (SHEAP)<ref>https://www.shetland.gov.uk/rubbish-recycling/education.asp</ref> <ref>https://waste-management-world.com/a/shetland-islands-waste-to-energy-facility-gets-upgraded-controls</ref>.{{EfWTemplate|EPR={{#var:epr}}|id=44}}[[File:Lerwick Shetland EFW.jpg|230px|left|Shetland EfW Plant]]__TOC__<br clear='left' />

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 Shetland EfW facility has an anticipated life span of 10-15 years under current maintentance programmes<ref>https://www.orkney.gov.uk/Files/Committees-and-Agendas/Development%20and%20Infrastructure/DI2018/26-09-2018/I06__Proposed_New_Waste_Management_Facilities.pdf</ref>

==Local Authority Users==
{{EfWLAData|EPR={{#var: epr}}}}
The following  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.
