Switzerland-based Kanadevia Inova, formerly known as Hitachi Zosen Inova, has been selected by United Kingdom-based Viridor Ltd. selects to build a new waste-to-energy (WTE) facility in London.
The new plant, called the Thameside Energy Recovery Facility (TERF), will be located in the Tilbury Docks area of the U.K. capital. Construction work will start this month and the facility is expected to become operational by 2028, says Kanadevia.
The new combined heat and power-enabled plant will be “a highly efficient single-line facility capable of treating up to 350,000 metric tons of non-recyclable waste each year,” says Kanadevia.
This facility is expected to generate 40 megawatt electric (Mwe, or million electric watts) of power, sufficient to supply around 93,000 homes, says the Swiss technology firm.
The new waste infrastructure project called the Thameside Energy Recovery Facility (TERF), will be located at Tilbury Docks.
Construction work will commence in November 2024 and the facility is expected to become operational by 2028.
The new scheme is a major milestone for Kanadevia Inova, with the Switzerland-headed greentech major undertaking the role as the principal contractor for Viridor to design, build and commission the Thameside Energy Recovery Facility (TERF).
Once completed, the new WtE plant will be Kanadevia Inova’s twenty-first WtE project in the UK to date.
