Summary
A Biomass Waste Combined Heat and Power(CHP) EFW facility located in Slough, Berkshire which supplies 80 MWe to the National Grid and heat to local sources and has an annual fuel tonnage requirement of over 150,000 tonnes per annum[1]. The facility is a 'multifuel' site using a variety of Municipal Solid Waste. Commercial and Industrial Waste and Wood Waste as its fuel sources[2].
In 2008 Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) acquired Slough Heat and Power (SH&P) from SERGO for £49.25m[3].
The plant was converted to renewable fuel in c.2001 at a cost of approximately £30m[4] and this led to the development of an innovative, integrated supply chain for secure fuel supply in partnership with local suppliers such as Thames Valley Energy, a not-for-profit renewable energy agency[4].
The plant supplies all of the business located on the same trading estate as SH&P with heat, electricity and hot water. Over 2000 nearby homes are also supplied with their electricity from the plant via 100 km of underground cable as part of a private electricity network[4].
