Summary

MAJOR port group PD Port and Wentworth Clean Power (WCP) have entered an agreement for a project to develop a £230m (US$307.7m) waste-to-energy plant in Teesside, UK.

The state-of-the-art facility will have capacity for 300,000 t/y of feedstock and will deliver 30 MW in electrical output, enough to power 27,000 homes with the potential to provide decentralised energy to existing and planned industrial users via combined heat and power. It will use a variety of waste streams and employ proven technologies.

Under the agreement, WCP will develop, finance, and deliver the project together with its partners. WCP develops advanced waste-to-energy projects in the UK.

The project, to be named Teesport Renewable Energy Centre, will sit on a 36,421 m2 footprint, on Dockside Road, to the south of Teesport Commerce Park, Teesside, UK. The construction phase is expected to create 250–300 full-time jobs, and 40 permanent jobs once the plant is operational. The plant is expected to become operational in the second half of 2024.
