==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 plant 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]] at financial close in September 2016 for GBP £340m<ref>[https://www.wtikemsley.co.uk/site/assets/files/1315/wheelabrator_news_release_-_kemsley_financial_close_-_28_july_2016_-_uk_final.pdf Wheelabrator Press Release]</ref>..

==~~History~~==

==Technology==

The plant technology will comprise 2 lines of a standard moving grate technology, producing super-heated steam and 49.9MW of electricity to grid and steam to the adjacent [[DS Smith]] papermill.

~~==Plant==~~

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.

==~~Local Authority Users~~==

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.

==Construction==

The plant gained planning consent in 2012, reached financial close in July 2016, and will delivered by an [[EPC]] turnkey arrangement with [[CNIM]]. An operational date is programmed for mid 2020 <ref>[https://www.wtikemsley.co.uk/projects/project-overview/ Wheelabrator Website]</ref>.

==Waste Input==

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