The facility | The facility receives 120,000 tonnes of waste a year collected from [[Dundee City Council|Dundee]], [[Angus Council|Angus]] and [[Aberdeenshire Council|Aberdeenshire]] areas. The facility primarily accepts [[Municipal Solid Waste]] and [[Household Waste]] but does allow some [[Commercial Waste]] to be treated on site into an [[RDF]] prior to combustion. | ||
The plant is due to | The plant is due to continue to late 2030 and run in parallel with the new plant, which became operational in January 2022. | ||

The EFW plant at Baldovie was for many years the only municipal waste fired EfW plant in mainland Scotland. It suffered a major fire in 2012 and was later refurbished at a cost of £13.5m.<ref>[https://www.endswasteandbioenergy.com/article/1292662/uk-separation-upgrades-unnecessary-dundee-efw-plant ENDS]</ref> | The EFW plant at Baldovie was for many years the only municipal waste fired EfW plant in mainland Scotland.

The incineration process carried out by the plant handles mainly [[Household Waste]] and [[Commercial Waste]] in two 17 MW thermal input bubbling fluidised bed boilers (which at the time were the first in operation in the UK). The plant generates 10.5 MWe of electrical output with 8.3 MWe exported to the National Grid. | The incineration process carried out by the plant handles mainly [[Household Waste]] and [[Commercial Waste]] that has been processed into [[RDF]] on site prior to combustion in two 17 MW thermal input [[Fluidised Bed| bubbling fluidised bed]] boilers firing at 7.5 tonnes/hour (which at the time were the first in operation in the UK). The plant generates 10.5 MWe of electrical output with 8.3 MWe exported to the National Grid. Modifications to the plant since acquisition by [[MVV Umwelt]] in November 2018 led to an agreement in December 2020 to extend the operation of these two lines for 10 years (i.e. December 2030)<ref>https://www2.gov.scot/resource/doc/1069/0005230.pdf</ref><ref>Annual Report 2022</ref>. | ||
The new facility is a moving [[grate]] technology and is located to south of the existing [[Fluidised Bed|fluidised bed]] plant. it has the capacity to supply 20 tonnes of steam from the steam turbine extraction pass-out. The plant was fully commissioned and has been regulated since 1st January 2022 under the same permit as the existing plant. | |||
The combined capacity of the 3 lines is 34 tonnes/hr with 54MWth and 20MWe<ref>Annual Report 2022</ref>. | |||
==Local Authority Data== | |||
The [[Residual EfW]] pages for sites located in England and Wales capture the data reported by Local Authorities, through [[WasteDataFlow]], received at those sites. In Scotland this data is not reported, meaning that the destination in [[WasteDataFlow]] is not defined and the origin in the regulator returns for a facility receiving the tonnage is also not reported (resulting in a 'NA' in the table in the section below). As a result it is not possible to report for Scottish sites in the same way as other sites in WikiWaste. | |||
