Indaver has acquired the permits to construct and operate an Energy-from-Waste facility in the South East of England.
The development is set to be built in Rivenhall, Essex. With its 49.9 MWe capacity the facility will be able to treat 595,000 tonnes of non- recyclable residual waste. It will offer a local solution for non-recyclable residual waste which until now has been disposed of in regional landfills or exported abroad for treatment. The facility will comply with the most stringent environmental standards and supply electricity to 60,000 households. It seamlessly fits into the UK’s strategy for renewable energy and helps meet its ‘net-zero-carbon’ goals by recovering 49.9 MWe electricity from non-recyclable waste in a reliable and predictable way.
