[[Category:EfW Plants]]

An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. SELCHP ERF, standing for South East London Combined Heat and Power Energy Recover Facility, is located on Landmann Way, off Surrey Canal Road, Lewisham, London.

The facility has a permitted operational capacity of 420,000 tonnes per annum of waste, and produces both heat and power, exporting up to 35 MW electricity to the national grid after the plants own power needs are supplied for, and supplying the district heating network with hot water.

The plant is owned and operated by [[Veolia]]. The waste feedstock utilised at the plant is primarily residual waste arising from households and businesses in or close to London<ref name="ref1" > [https://www.selchp.com/about-selchp/ SELCHP Energy Recovery Facility, 2020.

==History==

South East London Combined Heat and Power was formed in 1988 by the London Boroughs of Lewisham, Southwark and Greenwich to provide an alternative waste disposal strategy to landfill, members also included the Regional Electricity Company and Energy from Waste design, construction and operation specialists. Following an in-depth feasibility study, consultations, and an Environmental Impact Assessment for the proposed [[ERF]], conditional Planning Permission for the project was granted in 1990 and in 1991 site clearance and construction began<ref name="ref2" >[https://www.selchp.com/about-selchp/history/ SELCHP Energy Recovery Facility, 2020. History - SELCHP. Online. Selchp.com. [Accessed 19 Feb. 2020].]</ref>.

In 1992, SELCHP was the first Energy from Waste scheme to be granted an authorisation under the Integrated Pollution Control provisions of the [[Environmental Protection Act 1990]]. 1992 was also the year that SELCHP was awarded an Electricity Generation Licence by the Office of Electricity Regulation<ref name="ref2" />.

Construction and commissioning of the facility was complete in 1993, being officially opened in 1994 by HRH the Prince of Wales<ref name="ref2" />.

In 1998, a new system to reduce emissions of Nitrogen Oxide was installed to allow the facility to to meet the new emission levels required by the Environment Agency<ref name="ref2" />.

Initially, the facility was planned to produce heat as well as electricity, but due to political and legislative changes, this was not enabled when the plant was constructed. The pipe systems and equipment for the heat from the facility to be utilised was not installed completely until 2014, and has been in operation since then<ref>SELCHP Energy Recovery Facility, 2020.

SELCHP is a successful commercial partnership between the public and private sectors. The partnering organisations that enabled this project to be achieved include: Veolia, iCON Infrastructure, Lewisham Council, Royal Borough of Greenwich, EDF Energy, ENER-G and John Laing plc.

The EPC contractor for this project was awarded to [[Martin Engineering Systems Ltd]]. The combustion technology implements the mass-burn process to incinerate waste<ref name="ref1" />.
