The Devonport facility was built primarily to service a 25 year [[PFI]] contract signed in March 2011 with [[South West Devon Waste Partnership]] (or [[SWDWP]]) which comprises [[Torbay Council]], [[Plymouth City Council]], and [[Devon County Council]] with anticipated input of around 163,000 tonnes per annum from these authorities. The site began accepting waste in September 2015, and under a combined heat and power supply agreement with the adjacent naval base, started supplying heat and reached full operations in January 2016. <ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/full-operations-begin-at-plymouth-chp-plant/ Letsrecycle Article]</ref> | |||
