The Tyrone site was developed by [[Tyrone Energy Ltd]] and was operational in late 2014 and at the time was the first large scale [[EfW]] plant in Northern Ireland. It is located near Strabane, County Tyrone<ref>[https://www.tyroneenergy.com/ Tyrone Energy Website]</ref>.

==Local Authority Users==
==Tonnage Input/Fuel==
The following data comes from [[WasteDataFlow]] for the financial year 2018/19 and represents those local authorities recorded as putting tonnage into the site (either directly or via a transfer station). The tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the [[EA]] statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018). A 'zero return' below indicates no local authority tonnage was recorded, most likely a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage. Equally, lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of either a new plant being in 'ramp up' towards full capacity after construction, or may be a result of plant shut down and subsequent re-start in a year.
The tonnage received by the plant in the most recent [[Annual Sustainability Report]] for 2018-19<ref>[https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications-and-updates/biomass-sustainability-dataset-2018-19 Biomass Sustainability Dataset 2018-19]</ref> was reported by [[Ofgem]] as follows:

The [[Wood Waste]] is received from a variety of sources. The [[Wood Waste]] tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the [[NIEA]] statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018) and not currently available.
