An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional combustion technology which is considered an [[ERF]] as a result of having [[R1]] status. Edmonton has permitted operational capacity of 675,000 tonnes per annum (although reported also at 500,000 tonnes per annum), operated by [[LondonEnergy]], a local authority owned company formally known as [[LondonWaste]].

==History== | ==History== | ||
The Edmonton facility was built in 1971 to primarily service the [[North London Waste Authority]], providing capacity for residual [[Household Waste]] from [[Barnet London Borough Council|Barnet]],[[Camden London Borough Council|Camden]], [[Enfield London Borough Council|Enfield]], [[Islington London Borough Council|Islington]], [[Hackney London Borough Council|Hackney]], and [[Waltham Forest London Borough Council|Waltham Forest]]. The Site has been at 'end of life' for some time, with various proposals to replace the plant progressed over recent years. A planning application was granted in 2017 to replace the plant, on the existing site, at a capacity of 700,000 tonnes per annum and construction started in January 2019 for operation in 2025, although a legal challenge was mounted in late 2019<ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/edmonton-efw-crucial-for-climate-despite-legal-challenge/ Letsrecycle Article]</ref>. | |||
