Summary

An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and presently in early stage construction. Rookery Pit ERF has a permitted capacity of 585,000 tonnes per annum. The project is being developed by Covanta and was owned by Covanta (80%), Veolia (20%) and Covanta and Green Investment Group (80%). In March 2022 EQT, the owner of Covanta, bought the interests of the Green Investment Group in this and three other projects (Newhurst EFW, Protos EFW, and Earls Gate Energy Centre)[1] to leave Green Investment Group with no further interest in the projects.

Technology

The plant technology will comprise standard moving grate technology, producing super-heated steam with an operational capacity of 545,000 tonnes per annum, generating and 60MWe [2].

Construction

The plant gained planning consent in 2013, reached financial close in March 2019, and will delivered by an EPC turnkey arrangement with Hitachi Zosen Inova technology. An operational date is programmed for 2022 after a lengthy legal challenge to the development came to an end in November 2019 focused on the issue of the Environmental Permit [3].

Waste Input

The plant is intended to run on residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste provided by Veolia.
