Private Finance Initiative

Revision as of 09:10, 23 January 2020 by Bin52 (talk | contribs) (add page specific text)

In its desire to stimulate investment in waste infrastructure, and underpin the diversion of BMW waste from Landfill, the Government supported/subsidized a range of treatment technologies on a number of sites that were procured by Waste Disposal Authorities needing this infrastructure through a dedicated long term Private Finance Initiative (PFI). This arrangement has now ceased, several schemes which were to have been funded had their funding removed after DEFRA assessed [1] that the BMW targets could be met with the infrastructure funded to that date, and several are currently being considered by Waste Disposal Authorities for movement out of PFI after consideration of the cost benefit of continuing with the contract and several that have been removed (i.e. Lancashire) or have had closed with major restructure (i.e. Sheffield and Greater Manchester).

The table below is an extract from DEFRA data [2] summarizing the residual waste projects that are/were PFI and PPP projects with additional commentary/notes added:
