The North Hykenham facility was built to primarily service [[Lincolnshire County Council]] under a 25 yr contract; with Lincolnshire choosing to use the prudential borrowing mechanism rather than the usual [[PFI]] route it had the option to take. Prudential borrowing meant that the £135m costs were funded by a loan from the National Loans Fund linked to [[HM Treasury]].<ref name="LetsR">https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/cable-praises-renewable-efw-opening-lincolnshire-plant/</ref> | |||
The plant became fully operational in March 2014 and the development is one of the quickest 'planning to hot commissioning' facilities ever developed in the UK. (Planning permission was granted in Jul 2009 with hot commissioning in August 2013).<ref name="LetsR" /> | |||
The plant takes waste from [[Lincoln City Council]] and the greater Lincolnshire area and is almost entirely from municipal sources.<ref name="LetsR" /> | |||
