Summary
Millerhill Energy from Waste facility has been developed, constructed and is being operated through a 25-year partnership between FCC Environment, the Edinburgh City Council and the Midlothian Council. The feedstock utilised at this plant is non-hazardous residual waste, processing 135,000 tonnes per year of this material originating from households within the Edinburgh and Midlothian regions, and a remainder 20,000 tonnes per year originating from businesses. It is located at what used to be a brownfield site between the active railway yards operated by Network Rail and the former Monktonhall Colliery with good access to rail and road routes, enabling it to manage waste from both Edinburgh City and the Midlothian Councils[1].
This EfW is a Combined Heat and Power facility, supplying 4,600 domestic premises with heat, it is able to produce up to 12 MW of electricity and 20 MW of heat through a combustion system [2].
History
The contract to build the Millerhill EfW was signed in October 2016 by FCC and the City of Edinburgh and Midlothian Councils, after FCC was selected as the preferred bidder by the partnership Zero Waste: Edinburgh and Midlothian to design, construct, finance and operate the plant. The facility began construction in December 2016 and was scheduled to take 30 months to complete, commencing accepting waste and commissioning in November 2018 and full operations in June 2019, ahead of schedule[1].
In 2020 FCC formed Green Recovery Projects Ltd, a new company for its Energy from Waste portfolio to allow the subsequent sale of 49% to Icon Infrastructure. This included Millerhill EfW[3].
Plant
FCC Environment appointed Hitachi Zosen Inova (HZI)[4] and FCC Medio Ambiente SA to undertake the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) and to supply the technology utilised in the plant as a joint venture, costing £142m to develop[1]. Millerhill EfW is co-located with a materials recycling facility.
Local Authority Data
The Residual EfW pages for sites located in England and Wales capture the data reported by Local Authorities, through WasteDataFlow, received at those sites. In Scotland this data is not reported, meaning that the destination in WasteDataFlow is not defined and the origin in the regulator returns for a facility receiving the tonnage is also not reported (resulting in a 'NA' in the table in the section below). As a result it is not possible to report for Scottish sites in the same way as other sites in WikiWaste. Error: Could not connect to database (Cannot access the database: pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: connection to server at "10.106.0.2", port 5432 failed: SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected connection to server at "10.106.0.2", port 5432 failed: FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode).Error: Could not connect to database (Cannot access the database: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: connection to server at "10.106.0.2", port 5432 failed: FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode).Error: Could not connect to database (Cannot access the database: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: connection to server at "10.106.0.2", port 5432 failed: FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode).
Waste Tonnage, By Origin
The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit PPC/A/1136072, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data used is from the most recent returns. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: Expression error: Unexpected < operator.t.
Where this tonnage exceeds that reported in year of the corresponding annual report, this may be due to the following reasons:
- Tonnage may have been received but not incinerated, i.e. the material is held pending incineration (the operator return to the EA reports as received whereas the annual report focuses on when the waste is incinerated.)
- Material may have been received into the site but treated in some other way than incineration.
- Material may have been received on the but transferred out of site for disposal/treatment at another site rather than incineration on the site.
