It will have a capacity to treat 300,000 tons of waste per year, generating 22 MW of electricity for some 36,000 homes. Handover to the operators is planned for 2016. Hitachi Zosen Inova (HZI) acts as the turnkey EPC contractor for the project.

The energy-from-waste facility will be operated by FCC Environment and Buckinghamshire County Council. "FCC owns the Zistersdorf energy-from-waste facility in Austria to which we delivered our first order from HZI in 2008. The plant has been very satisfied with our Metso DNA system as well as our local service," Neubert adds.
