Additional project information
The Site is an existing industrial site with planning permission to operate an asphalt coating plant, an aggregates railhead and a ready-mixed concrete plant. The Site is next to an existing gas-fired power station and is within a large, established industrial area.Veolia is proposing to develop a rail-linked power station that will generate electricity from a combination of natural gas and Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF). The power station will process approximately 320,000 tonnes a year of SRF, about 90% of which will be delivered by rail.
The proposed power station will include the generation of low carbon and renewable electricity to be supplied to the National Grid. The total power generated will be approximately 52MW.
