Summary
The Javelin Park EfW is located in Gloucestershire next to the M5 motorway to the south of Gloucester. It utilises combustion technology to convert 190,000 tonnes per year of municipal residual waste, supplied by Gloucestershire County Council, into electricity. This facility diverts over 90% of the county’s residual waste from landfill, producing 14.5 MW electricity to be exported to the grid. Urbaser Ltd. and Balfour Beatty are partners in a joint venture as Urbaser Balfour Beatty that developed, constructed and continues to operate this EfW that has been operational since autumn 2019[1].
History
Urbaser Balfour Beatty was selected by Gloucestershire County Council as the preferred bidder for the 25 year contract to design, build and operate Javelin Park EfW in December 2011. Planning permission for the facility was granted in January 2015, allowing construction of the facility to commence in September 2016 that was predicted to take up to 35 months. In June 2019 the facility began to accept waste during its commissioning stage, with the construction and commissioning of Javelin Park being completed and full operations beginning in January 2020[2].
Plant
The plant employs inclined moving grate combustion technology. 2.9 MW of the gross generated electricity of 17.4 MW produced by the facility provides electricity needed to sustain its operation, with the remainder 14.5 MW exported to the grid.
The facility runs continuously 24/7 with a planned shutdown for around two weeks each year for maintenance.
The contract between Gloucestershire County Council and Urbaser Balfour Beatty for the development and operation of this facility has a figure in the region of £500 million.
Local Authority Users
The following represents those local authorities recorded as putting tonnage into the site (either directly or via a transfer station). The 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). A 'zero return' below indicates no local authority tonnage was recorded, most likely a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage. Equally, lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of either a new plant being in 'ramp up' towards full capacity after construction, or may be a result of plant shut down and subsequent re-start in a year.
