Summary

An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology, Kemsley K3 EfW was handed over for operation in July 2020^[1] and had an original operational capacity of 550,000 tonnes per annum with an extension of 107,000 tonnes per annum approved in February 2021^[2]. The project has been developed and will be operated by Wheelabrator and was funded by the Green Investment Bank, BTMU, Natixis and Investec. The project reached financial close in September 2016 for GBP £340m^[3]..

History

The additional permitted capacity was sought as part of an application for an additional project adjacent to the site (Kemsley North (WKN)) although this part of the application was refused by the Planning Inspectorate. The extension to the Kemsley K3 EfW was within the boundaries of the current consent and technology, through improved efficiency of the plant design, to allow the processing of the further 107,000 tones per annum to generate an additional 25.1MW.

In December 2020 Wheelabrator announced the sale of their UK energy from waste division to the European Diversified Infrastructure Fund III, a fund managed by First Sentier Investors (FSI) (formally known as First State Investments) headquartered in Australia^[4] for completion in early 2021.

Technology

The plant technology comprises 2 lines of a standard combustion moving grate technology, producing super-heated steam (49.9MW plus 25.1MW of thermal output) to generate electricity to grid and steam to the adjacent DS Smith papermill.

Construction

The plant gained planning consent in 2012, reached financial close in July 2016, and was delivered by an EPC turnkey arrangement with CNIM. Handover was achieved in July 2020.

Waste Input

The plant is intended to run on residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste sourced by Wheelabrator.

 ==Summary==
-An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional combustion technology and presently in late stage construction. Kemsley (K3) has a current forecast operational capacity of 550,000 tonnes per annum with plans to extend (see Technology section below). The project has been developed and will be operated by [[Wheelabrator]] and was funded by the [[Green Investment Bank]], [[BTMU]], [[Natixis]] and [[Investec]].

 ==History==
-Additional permitted capacity is being sought within the boundaries of the current consent and technology, through improved efficiency of the plant design, to process a further 107,000 tones per annum and generate an additional 25.1MW.
+The additional permitted capacity was sought as part of an application for an additional project adjacent to the site ([[Kemsley North (WKN)]]) although this part of the application was refused by the [[Planning Inspectorate]]. The extension to the [[Kemsley K3 EfW]] was within the boundaries of the current consent and technology, through improved efficiency of the plant design, to allow the processing of the further 107,000 tones per annum to generate an additional 25.1MW.
-As part of the application to extend the existing capacity, in October 2019, an additional application was made for a further plant, adjacent to Kemsley (K3), called Wheelabrator Kemsley North ([[Wheelabrator Kemsley North|WKN]]). If consented it will deliver a single line of standard moving grate technology, producing super-heated steam and 42MWe from 390,0000 tonnes per annum of [[residual waste]].
-Both the K3 and [[Wheelabrator Kemsley North|WKN]] facilities are discrete, and in addition to a planned 'K4' gas-fired [[CHP]] facility on the same site. The combined capacity of 'K3', 'K3 extension', and [[Wheelabrator Kemsley North|WKN]] totals 1,047,000 tonnes per annum.
 In December 2020 [[Wheelabrator]] announced the sale of their UK energy from waste division to the [[European Diversified Infrastructure Fund III]], a fund managed by [[First Sentier Investors]] (FSI) (formally known as First State Investments) headquartered in Australia<ref>https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/wheelabrator-to-sell-uk-efw-arm/</ref> for completion in early 2021.
