Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology that completed construction and handover in August 2024. Slough Multifuel EFW was granted planning permission in 2017 and has a permitted capacity of 480,000 tonnes per annum. The site was purchased in 2008 by SSE and the project is being developed by a 50:50 joint venture between SEE Thermal and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP)[2].
The plant is located on the Slough Trading Estate, close to the Slough Heat & Power facility, which is based on biomass feedstock.
Technology
The plant technology comprises standard moving grate technology, producing super-heated steam with an operational capacity of 545,000 tonnes per annum, generating 50MWe [3].
Construction
The plant gained planning permission in 2017, and was delivered by an EPC turnkey arrangement with Hitachi Zosen Inova technology. Construction was reported completed in August 2024[4].
Waste Input
The plant is intended to run on waste derived fuel from residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste, with around two thirds identified for long term contract.
