Edmonton EcoPark EfW
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology which is considered an ERF as a result of having R1 status. Edmonton has permitted operational capacity of 675,000 tonnes per annum (although reported also at 500,000 tonnes per annum), operated by LondonEnergy, a local authority owned company formally known as LondonWaste. Delivery of waste is by road, with easy connection from the North Circular road in Enfield, and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste similar residual Commercial Waste as well as other waste infrastructure on the site.

Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology which is considered an ERF as a result of having R1 status. Edmonton has permitted operational capacity of 675,000 tonnes per annum (although reported also at 500,000 tonnes per annum), operated by LondonEnergy, a local authority owned company formally known as LondonWaste. Delivery of waste is by road, with easy connection from the North Circular road in Enfield, and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste similar residual Commercial Waste as well as other waste infrastructure on the site.
History
The Edmonton facility was built in 1971 to primarily service the North London Waste Authority, providing capacity for residual Household Waste from Barnet,Camden, Enfield, Islington, Hackney, and Waltham Forest. The Site has been at 'end of life' for some time, with various proposals to replace the plant progressed over recent years. A planning application was granted in 2017 to replace the plant, on the existing site, at a capacity of 700,000 tonnes per annum and construction started in January 2019 for operation in 2025, although a legal challenge was mounted in late 2019[1].
Plant
The plant comprises four lines and has had difficulties in recent years with the ageing equipment and maintaining plant availability [2].
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.
