==Operational EfW==

The following list summarises all [[EfW]] sites that were operational as of March 2021, with limited summary information in the table. More detailed information can be found by clicking through to the site-specific page, the total 'plated capacity' is '''{{formatnum: {{#var:opston}}}} kt''':

* ID item 3 has multiple line entries - the capacity of all entries is shown once in the first line, consolidating the later ones and resulting in a 0 entry for those consolidated.

In 2020, the amount of residual waste that was sent to [[EfW]] processes in the UK increased by 10.5%, amounting to a total of 13,960 kt being sent to 54 operational EfW facilities across the UK<ref name="foo2> [https://www.tolvik.com/published-reports/view/uk-energy-from-waste-statistics-2021/ Derived from Tolvik EFW Statistics 2021, Published May 2022]</ref>. This was against a headline/plated capacity of 16,630 kt of operational capacity and a further 4,070 kt of late stage commissioning and in construction 'plated' capacity at that time. This represented 52% of the total [[Residual Waste]] produced in the UK in 2020 (increasing from 46% in 2019)<ref name="foo2" />. The total net power exported from [[EfW]] facilities in 2019 was 7,762 GWh, this supplied 2.5% of the total UK power generation, and gives an average of 557 kWh of power generated per tonne of residual waste treated at UK [[EfW]] facilities<ref name="foo2" />.

The graph below displays how the tonnage of residual waste processes by UK [[EfW]] facilities has changed over recent years, and is based on that received rather than the 'plated' capacity of the plants in operation and construction (20,200 kt reported by Tolvik<ref name="foo2" /> at the end of 2020, whereas this page reports '''{{formatnum: {{#expr: {{#var: opston}} + {{#var: ucston}}}}}} kt''' as at March 2021).

The following list summarises all [[EfW]] sites that were under construction in March 2021, with limited summary information in the table and more detailed information by clicking through to the site-specific page . Historically there have been some plants that have not passed from construction to operation due to commissioning issues and are not listed i.e. [[Air Products]]. Several of the plants listed below that are presently in extended commissioning are based on [[Gasification]] technologies, but no comment is made as to whether they will reach full operational capacity. The total 'plated capacity' is  '''{{formatnum: {{#var: ucston}}}} kt'''.

The following list summarises all [[EfW]] sites that were in the planning process as at March 2021, which comprises those that have received [[Planning Permission|planning permission]] at some point and those that are presently in the consultation process seeking [[Planning Permission|planning permission]]. The total 'plated capacity' shown in the tables below is '''{{formatnum: {{#expr: {{#var:planton}} + {{#var:conston}}}}}} kt''' (Planning: '''{{formatnum: {{#var:planton}}}} kt''', Consulation: '''{{formatnum: {{#var:conston}}}} kt''').
