Summary

A Biomass Waste EFW facility Brigg REP processes up to 250,000 tonnes per year of a range of Biomass, but primarily straw and a limited amount of Wood Waste to generate up to 40MWe for export to the national grid. The straw fuel is supplied under a 12 year agreement with Worldwide Farming Partnership (WFP) as well as other local and regional farmers.

The plant was originally jointly owned by Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor A/S (BWSC) and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners K/S (CIP), with senior debt refinancing completed in 2017 of £250m (including Royal Bank of Scotland, Investec, Aviva Investors and others) but in April 2021 it was confirmed that Octopus Renewables had bought the facility from the joint investors for an undisclosed fee.

Plant

Built under an EPC contract with Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor A/S (BWSC), construction commenced in early 2014 and commissioning and first power was delivered at the end of 2015 and formal opening in January 2016.

Annual Sustainability Tonnage Input/Fuel

The tonnage 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:

Waste Tonnage, By Origin

The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit EP3133DQ, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data used is from the most recent returns. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: t. 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.
