Summary

The Parc Adfer Energy from Waste facility was developed by and is operated by Wheelabrator Technologies, 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.

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.

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.

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.
