Summary
The Energy Recovery Plant in Lerwick is operated by Shetland Isles Council which burns over 23,000 tonnes of waste per year and generates 7MW of energy providing heat and hot water for the Lerwick District Heating System which is operated by the Shetland Heat Energy and Power Ltd (SHEAP)[1] [2].
The waste to feed the plant originates from Shetland, Orkney and areas of the Highlands.
The hot water created from the destruction of the residual waste is used to heat approximately 1,230 domestic properties, commercial and public buildings around Lerwick including schools, care homes, the leisure centre and hospital[3] and distributed around the town via insulated pipes.
History
The facility has been operating successfully in Shetland since 1998 burning predominantly Household, Commercial and Industrial wastes and is the smallest of all the Local Authority Energy from Waste plants currently operating in the UK.
Plant
The Shetland EfW facility has an anticipated life span of 10-15 years under current maintentance programmes[4]
