Summary

A Biomass Waste combined heat and power (CHP) EFW facility utilising a feedstock of Wood Waste to generate 29 MWe and up to 25 MWth. The facility is located on the site of the former Tinsley cooling towers in Sheffield, and the Wood Waste is sourced locally within a 50-mile of the plant. The generated electricity is exported to the national grid and the heat is supplied as hot water to local businesses through a district heating network, including the Sheffield Arena and Forgemaster Steel Works[1].

The Blackburn Meadows facility is operated by E.ON Energy and became operational in 2015 after beginning construction in 2011[2].

Plant

The facility had a 10 MW battery installed after it was awarded a contract to support the national grid’s stability requirements, which became operational in 2017[1].

The unique architectural work was undertaken by BDP, which includes an orange translucent clad boiler house that is internally illuminated[2].

The facility cost £120 million to develop[3].

Tonnage Input/Fuel

The tonnage received by the plant in the most recent Annual Sustainability Report for 2018-19[4] was reported by Ofgem as follows:

Biomass Tonnage (2018-19)
Wood Waste 208,327
Other 0
Total 208,327

The Wood Waste is received from a variety of sources. The Wood Waste tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the EA statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018) and was 214,135 tonnes.
