Summary

Tilbury Green Power (TGP) is a renewable power plant fuelled by Wood Waste, located within the Port of Tilbury on the banks of the River Thames[1]. The plant has a capacity of around 40 MWe[1].

The Tilbury Green Power Plant was developed by Tilbury Green Power Limited, the major shareholders at the time being the Electricity Supply Board (ESB) and the UK Green Investment Bank (GIB) (now called Green Investment Group). Burmeister and Wain Scandinavian Contractor (BWSC) and Aalborg Energie Technik (AET) were minor shareholders[1]. GIB and ESB each invested £35m to the project as a combination of equity and shareholder loans, with an additional £2m participation from the technology provider AET[2]. Senior debt funding was provided by the Danish Export Credit Agency (Eksport Kredit Fonden), Investec and Rabobank[3]. The total cost of the project amounted to £190m[2].

In June 2021 the facility was acquired by two new shareholders - Altri SGPS S.A through its wholly owned subsidiary Greenvolt (51% of the shares) and Equitex (49% of the shares) for a value of £245.5m[4].

The project is being progressed in two phases with Phase 1 already operational and Phase 2 awaiting construction Tilbury Docks - Phase 2 (EfW). The original planning consent for the site permitted the total capacity to be 60MWe with an overall waste processing limit of 650,000 tonnes per year with Solid Recovered Fuel also being permitted up to a total tonnage of 170,000 tonnes. A variation to this planning consent has now been granted, which will allow the site to operate up to 80 MWe and the use of Solid Recovered Fuel up to 350,000 tonnes per annum[5]

Plant

The construction of the plant commenced in August 2015 following completion of site preparation works which began in May 2015. The plant became fully operational in January 2019[1]. BWSC were appointed the EPC contractor and O&M contractor for the project[2] with AET designing, supplying and commissioning the boiler, flue gas and combustion systems, the latter of which is based upon the travelling grate (AET Biograte) system[6].

Annual Sustainability Tonnage Input/Fuel

The tonnage[7] received by the plant in the most recent Annual Sustainability Report and for the previous 3 years for 2020/21 was reported by Ofgem as below[8]:

Year Waste Wood (m3) Waste Wood (t) Straw Miscanthus Arboricultrual Waste Sawmill Residue Foresrty Residue Round Wood Short Rotation Coppice MBM Other Material
2020/21 0 223520 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
2019/20 0 107754 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
2018/19 0 171993 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
2017/18 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Waste Tonnage, By Origin

The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit KP3936ZB, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data was last updated on October 2024. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: 237,256.33t.

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.
