Summary

An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Riverside has permitted operational capacity of 750,000 tonnes per annum, operated by Cory Riverside Energy. Delivery of waste is primarily by barge on the River Thames, with some tonnage by road, and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste[2].

History

The Riverside facility was built primarily to service a 30 year PPP contract signed in 2002 with WRWA, with anticipated total throughput of up to 585,000 tonnes per annum - receiving additional residual Commercial Waste and some Household Waste from other local authorities, primarily via river-based transfer facilities. It is located on the banks of the River Thames at Belvedere, in Bexley. In June 2018 Cory Riverside Energy was sold to a consortium of investors, including Dalmore Capital, Fiera Infrastructure, Semperian PPP Investment Partners and Swiss Life Asset Managers[3] with a second plant planned on an adjacent site currently in the planning process[4].

Plant

Built by Hitachi Zosen Inova under a Design & Build EPC-turnkey contract which started in summer 2008 and was delivered in 2010 at a reported [5] EU400m capital cost. The plant comprises 3 lines of 31.8 tonnes/hour design capacity capable of treating 585,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology, air cooled, Hitachi Zosen Inova Grate R-1000104, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on primarily residual Household Waste with a CV of between 7 and 13MJ/kg to deliver 65MWe of power.

Local Authority Users

The Local Authority tonnage below is higher than the tonnage reported in the summary box on this page. This is a result of the Local Authority listing their tonnage under two separate permit numbers for the same site, whereas the summary box is for the tonnage specifically listed under the actual site permit.

The following data comes from WasteDataFlow for the financial year 2018/19 and 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.
