Energy from Waste construction to start in April

Construction of Lincolnshire’s first Energy from Waste (EfW) facility to treat household waste will commence in April after the contract with the preferred bidder, Waste Recycling Group (WRG), was signed on Friday, 4 March 2011.

Work to build the plant on 3.1 hectares of land at North Hykeham is expected to begin next month. It could then be up and running as soon as Autumn 2013.

The landmark project - which will dramatically reduce the amount of waste Lincolnshire sends to landfill - has been led by the Lincolnshire Waste Partnership (LWP) which appointed WRG to design, build and operate the EfW facility for the county.

Lincolnshire’s EfW - which will treat up to 150,000 tonnes of residual waste a year - will bring the added benefits of generating electricity from the waste, which will be sold to the National Grid. Further information on energy from waste is available at www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/energyfromwaste or by calling 01522 782070.
