Summary
Tilbury Green Power Limited (TGP) is a renewable power plant fuelled by waste wood located within the Port of Tilbury on the banks of the River Thames[1]. The plant has a capacity of around 40 MW and produces up to 319,000 MWh of renewable electricity each year which supplies on average, around 97,000 homes[1].
The plant uses around 270,000 tonnes of waste wood per annum[1] which is provided by Stobart Biomass who source the waste wood fuel for the plant from the local catchment area which is then processed at the onsite facility[2].
The Tilbury Green Power Plant was developed by Tilbury Green Power Limited, the major shareholders of whom are 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) are minor shareholders[1]. GIB and ESB each invested £35m to the project as a combination of equity and shareholder loans, with an additonal £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].
The project is being progressed in two phases with Phase 1 already operational and Phase 2 awaiting construction. 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 350,000t per annum[4]
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 commissionning the boiler, flue gas and combustion systems, the latter of which is based upon the travelling grate (AET Biograte) system[5].
