Summary

Originally named Tilbury Docks - Phase 2 (EfW) this EfW facility is based upon conventional combustion technology that is the second phase of a development that also comprised a Biomass Waste EFW facility - listed on WikiWaste as Tilbury Green Power. The second phase of the site is anticipated to process 350,000 tonnes per annum of residual waste and reached financial close in November 2024[2] and has been 'renamed' Thameside Energy Recovery Facility

History

The first phase of this site, the Tilbury Green Power plant, was developed by Tilbury Green Power Limited, the major shareholders at the time being the Electricity Supply Board (ESB) and the UK Green Investment Bank (GIB) (now called Green Investment Group) and in June 2021 the facility was acquired by two new shareholders - Altri SGPS S.A through its wholly owned subsidiary Greenvolt (51% of the shares) and Equitex (49% of the shares) for a value of £245.5m[3].

The original planning consent for the total site permitted the total capacity to be 60 MWe with an overall waste processing limit of 650,000 tonnes per year (part Wood Waste and part Solid Recovered Fuel. A variation to this planning consent was granted, which allows the site to operate up to 80 MWe and use up to 350,000 tonnes per annum Solid Recovered Fuel[4].

Tilbury Docks - Phase 2 (EfW) is an EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology that is the second phase of a development. This second phase of the site is anticipated to process 350,000 tonnes per annum of residual waste.

In September 2022 it was announced that Viridor had acquired Thameside Energy Recovery Facility Ltd from ESB, which owned the right to develop, construct and operate the Tilbury Docks - Phase 2 (EfW)[5]. In November 2024 Viridor announced that they had reached financial close on the project.

Technology

The plant technology will comprise standard single line moving grate technology. It was reported in January 2023 that the permit application varies the technology to a inclined moving grate with a throughput capacity of 43.3 tonnes per hour [6].

Construction

Kanadevia Inova have been appointed the EPC contractor and estmate a 42 month build, with operational commencment in 2028

Waste Input

The plant is intended to run on Residual Waste from Household Waste and Commercial Waste sources.
