This EfW produces stream as an output from the recovery process, that is then delivered to public buildings and 4,600 domestic premises in Nottingham through a pipeline to [[EnviroEnergy Limited]], a company wholly owned by the city council. Any excess steam is used to produce ~~electrcity~~ to meet the power demands of the plant and to be fed into the grid<ref name="ref3" />.
