Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Battlefield EfW is located Battlefield Enterprise Park north of Shrewsbury town in the county of Shropshire in the West of England. The facility has a permitted operational capacity of 102,000 tonnes per annum, exporting up to 8 MW electricity to the national grid after the plants own power needs are supplied for. The facility is a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) facility producing heat as well as electricity[1].
The plant is owned and operated by Veolia. The waste feedstock utilised at the plant is primarily residual household waste arising from across Shropshire, from towns including Oswestry, Market Drayton and Shrewsbury[2]. This accounts for 45% of Municipal Solid Waste generated in the county[3].
History
The plant has been developed under a 27-year PFI contract signed between Veolia and Shropshire council in 2007. The Environmental Permit was granted in June 2010, and planning permission was granted by the Planning Inspectorate in January 2012[4]. Construction of the plant began in late 2012, during May 2015, construction and commissioning of the EfW was completed and operations began. HRH The Princess Royal formally opened the plant in January 2017[2].
Plant
The facility cost £100 million to develop[2]. The plant employs a moving grate combustion system supplied by CNIM, with EPC services for the plant carried out by the partnership of Clungston Construction and CNIM[3].
The plant is located next to a Household Waste Recycling Centre and a Waste Transfer Station.
