The conversion is ongoing and expected to be completed during 2021. Front End Engineering Design (FEED) tests and studies have been successfully completed by the FEED partners for the project WSP UK Ltd, RJM Corporation Technical Services Ltd, and Simec Subcoal Fuels (SSF) (a 50:50 joint venture between N+P Group and SIMEC Energy). Medium scale testing  obtained a stable flame, revealing stable combustion of a 100% waste-derived fuel pellet feedstock is achievable<ref> Bioenergy International, 2019.

The facility will consume 900,000 tonnes per annum of waste derived fuel pellets formed from non-recyclable waste called 'SubCoal'. The fuels pellets have been developed to a rigorous specification to have characteristics similar to coal. SubCoal pellets have been designed and will be produced by N+P Group and transported from fuel processing plants in England via railway infrastructure for combustion at Uskmouth. The pellets are comprised of 50% biogenic waste material and 50% plastic waste<ref name="ref3" >Bioenergy Insight, 2020.
