Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology that reached financial close in February 2020 and operational handover in June 2023. Newhurst EFW has a permitted capacity of 350,000 tonnes per annum. The project was developed by Covanta, now known as Encyclis who are also the operator of the facility. The facility was 50% owned by Covanta and Macquarie's Green Investment Group and 50% by Biffa[1]. In March 2022 EQT, the owner of Covanta, bought the interests of the Green Investment Group in this and three other projects (Rookery Pit Energy Recovery Facility (Rookery South), Protos EFW, and Earls Gate Energy Centre) to leave Green Investment Group with no further interest in the projects[2].
Technology
The plant technology comprises standard moving grate technology by Hitachi Zosen Inova, producing super-heated steam, generating 42MWe.
Construction
The plant was delivered under a turnkey EPC arrangement with Hitachi Zosen Inova technology over a 3 year programme with technical oversight by Covanta[3][4]. In October 2022 it was reported that hot commissioning had commenced with the intention to move to full operations in May 2023[5] and Encyclis reported operational handover occurred in June 2023[6].
Waste Input
The plant is intended to run on primarily on residual Household Waste from the contract between Biffa and Leicestershire County Council and Commercial Waste provided from Biffa's existing local waste collection services.
