In 2018, the amount of residual waste that was sent to EfW processes in the UK increased by 5.6%, amounting to a total of 11.5 million tonnes being sent to 42 operational EfW facilities across the UK<ref name="foo2>Tolvik Consulting, 2019.

The total power generated from EfW facilities in 2018 was 6,153 GWh, this supplied 1.9% of the total UK power generation, and gives a average of 536 kWh of power generated per tonne of residual waste treated at UK EfW facilities<ref name="foo2" />. | In 2018, the amount of residual waste that was sent to EfW processes in the UK increased by 5.6%, amounting to a total of 11.5 million tonnes being sent to 42 operational EfW facilities across the UK<ref name="foo2>Tolvik Consulting, 2019.
