Also known as Enviropower, this is an EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology which is not considered an ERF as a result of not having R1 status. Lancing has permitted operational capacity of up to 75,000 tonnes per annum, and is owned and operated by Enviropower Ltd, a subsidiary of Rabbit Group. Delivery of waste is from the adjacent Rabbit transfer station which prepares the Waste Derived Fuel for the plant comprising a Wood Waste /Biomass rich RDF and as a result is listed both within the Residual Waste EFW and Biomass Waste EFW listings.

Summary

Also known as Enviropower, this is an EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology which is not considered an ERF as a result of not having R1 status. Lancing has permitted operational capacity of up to 75,000 tonnes per annum, and is owned and operated by Enviropower Ltd, a subsidiary of Rabbit Group. Delivery of waste is from the adjacent Rabbit transfer station which prepares the Waste Derived Fuel for the plant comprising a Wood Waste /Biomass rich RDF and as a result is listed both within the Residual Waste EFW and Biomass Waste EFW listings.

History

The Rabbit facility was opened in 2008 to primarily service residual Wood Waste from skips and construction sources, with later expansion into a wider specification RDF produced in the adjacent transfer station and is reported as costing £15m[1].

Plant

The plant comprises standard combustion, on 2 lines of Talbot Grates, generating super-heated steam, generating up to 5MWe for export to the national grid.

Tonnage Input/Fuel

The tonnage received by the plant in the most recent Annual Sustainability Report for 2018-19[2] was reported by Ofgem as follows:

Biomass Tonnage (2018-19)
Wood Waste 63,754
Other 0
Total 63,754

The Wood Waste is received from a variety of sources, including Waste Disposal Authoritys, al lof which is processed in the adjacent transfer station prior to use in the Enviropower site. The Wood Waste 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) and are reported as 60,356 in the pull-out table to the right.

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
