Summary
A Biomass Waste 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 a district heating network, including the Sheffield Arena and Forgemaster Steel Works[1].
The Blackburn Meadows facility is operated by E.ON Energy and became operational in 2015 after beginning construction in 2011[2].
Plant
The facility had a 10 MW battery installed after it was awarded a contract to support the national grid’s stability requirements, which became operational in 2017[1].
The unique architectural work was undertaken by BDP, which includes an orange translucent clad boiler house that is internally illuminated[2].
The facility cost £120 million to develop[3].
