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 Technology 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[1]..
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.
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.
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 (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 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 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 [2].
Waste Input
The plant is intended to run on residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste sourced by Wheelabrator.
