Lancing EfW
Also known as Enviropower and Lancing Biomass Plant, Lancing EfW is is an EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology which is not considered an ERF as a result of not having R1 status. Lancing EfW has permitted operational capacity of up to 75,000 tonnes per annum, and is owned and operated by Enviropower Ltd

Summary
Also known as Enviropower, and Lancing Biomass Plant, Lancing EfW is an EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology which is not considered an ERF as a result of not having R1 status. Lancing EfW 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.
Annual Sustainability Tonnage Input/Fuel
The tonnage[2] received by the plant in the most recent Annual Sustainability Report and for the previous 3 years for 2020/21 was reported by Ofgem as below[3]:
| Year | Waste Wood (m3) | Waste Wood (t) | Straw | Miscanthus | Arboricultrual Waste | Sawmill Residue | Foresrty Residue | Round Wood | Short Rotation Coppice | MBM | Other Material |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020/21 | 0 | 67103 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2019/20 | 0 | 63812 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2018/19 | 0 | 63754 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2017/18 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The Wood Waste is received from a variety of sources, all of which is processed in the adjacent transfer station prior to use in the Enviropower site.
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
| Authority | Tonnage |

Waste Tonnage, By Origin
The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit XP3030XX, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data was last updated on October 2023. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: 52,905t. Where this tonnage exceeds that reported in year of the corresponding annual report, this may be due to the following reasons:
- Tonnage may have been received but not incinerated, i.e. the material is held pending incineration (the operator return to the EA reports as received whereas the annual report focuses on when the waste is incinerated.)
- Material may have been received into the site but treated in some other way than incineration.
- Material may have been received on the but transferred out of site for disposal/treatment at another site rather than incineration on the site.
