The Parc Adfer Energy from Waste facility was developed by and is operated by [[Wheelabrator Technologies]], located at the Deeside Industrial Park in Flintshire, North Wales. The facility accepts 200,000 tonnes per year of residual waste as a feedstock from household, businesses and commercial sources, and produces both electricity and heat as a [[CHP]] plant. The waste feedstock is locally supplied by the 5 counties in the North of Wales representing the [[North Wales Residual Waste Treatment Project]]<ref name= "ref1"> Wheelabrator, 2020.

Wheelabrator Technologies was selected as the preferred bidder to build and operate the Parc Adfer EfW in 2014, entering into a 25 year contract as a [[public-private partnership]] (PPP). Support was given by the Welsh Government as the facility serves the five local authorities that make up the North Wales Residual Waste Treatment Project (NWRWTP). Planning consent was granted by Flintshire County Council in May 2015, and the environmental permit was granted by [[Natural Resources Wales]] in October 2015, leading financial close being reached and construction beginning in December 2016 with the full commercial operations starting December 2019<ref name="ref1" />. | |||
