==Summary==

A Biomass Waste [[Combined Heat and Power | combined heat and power]] (CHP) EFW facility utilising a feedstock of [[Wood Waste]] to generate 29 MWe and up to 25 MWth. The facility is located on the site of the former Tinsley cooling towers in Sheffield, and the feedstock is sourced locally within a 50-mile of the plant. The generated electricity is exported to the national grid and the heat is supplied as hot water to local businesses through ~~our own~~ district heating network, including the Sheffield Arena and Forgemaster Steel Works<ref name="ref1" >E.ON, 2020.
