Parc Adfer EfW
The Parc Adfer Energy from Waste facility was developed by and is operated by Wheelabrator, located at the Deeside Industrial Park in Flintshire, North Wales. The facility accepts 200,000 tonnes per year of residual waste as a feedstock from household, business and commercial sources, and produces both electricity and heat through a combustion system as a CHP plant. The waste feedstock is locally supplied by the 5 counties in the North of Wales representing the North Wales Residual Waste Treatment Project[1].

Summary
The Parc Adfer Energy from Waste facility was developed by and is operated by Wheelabrator, located at the Deeside Industrial Park in Flintshire, North Wales. The facility accepts 200,000 tonnes per year of residual waste as a feedstock from household, business and commercial sources, and produces both electricity and heat through a combustion system as a CHP plant. The waste feedstock is locally supplied by the 5 counties in the North of Wales representing the North Wales Residual Waste Treatment Project[1].
History
Wheelabrator Technologies was selected as the preferred bidder to build and operate the Parc Adfer EfW in 2014, entering into a 25 year contract as a Public Private Partnership (PPP). Support was given by the Welsh Government as the facility serves the five local authorities that make up the North Wales Residual Waste Treatment Project (NWRWTP). Planning consent was granted by Flintshire County Council in May 2015, and the environmental permit was granted by Natural Resources Wales in October 2015, leading financial close being reached and construction beginning in December 2016 with the full commercial operations starting December 2019[1].
In December 2020 Wheelabrator announced the sale of their UK energy from waste division to the European Diversified Infrastructure Fund III, a fund managed by First Sentier Investors (FSI) (formally known as First State Investments) headquartered in Australia[2] for completion in early 2021.
Plant
The process technology and the EPC for the plant was supplied by CNIM, with Clungston responsible for the civil engineering works. The project was initiated by the Welsh Government and the North Wales Residual Waste Treatment Project Partnership to achieve long-term targets for recycling and diversion of waste from landfill for Flintshire County Council, Isle of Anglesey County Council, Gwynedd County Council, Conwy County Borough Council, Denbighshire County Council[1].
The project financing was £180 million which was supplied with a 23-year term loan from the Green Investment Bank, MUFG, Natixis and Siemens, with an equity bridging loan provided by Barclays[1].
Local Authority Users
Local Authority Data
The table below lists those local authorities who have recorded their tonnage on WasteDataFlow as sending their Waste to this site (either directly or via a transfer station) for the most recent financial year, data was updated on Error: no local variable "updated" has been set.. 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). The total Local Authority waste received by the plant in the period was: 0t
A 'zero return' or a below expected return, when compared to the EA Data below indicates that either:
- no local authority tonnage was recorded/no tonnage was sent to the site in the period (but has been listed as it may have previously received tonnage from a local authority) or
- a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage or
- a lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of a local authority splitting their tonnage over multiple sites, having less tonnage to send than might be anticipated or
- it may be 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 or
- the local authority may not have correctly entered the site's details on WasteDataFlow
