Major expansion planned at Teesside EFW plant

23 April 2008

SITA UK is to consult on plans to add another 250,000t of annual capacity and rail access to its Haverton Hill energy-from-waste plant on Teesside.

The company opened its original plant in 1998, diverting 250,000t of household waste a year from landfill. There is also an extension being built to handle an additional 136,000t a year.

The new proposal would see facilities to deal with 256,000t of residual waste each year, housed in a building of similar architectural design on adjacent land. There would also be a rail unloading facility to reduce road movements to the site.

The company foresaw the site becoming a regional renewable-energy centre, and said it already generated almost enough electricity to power a town the size of Hartlepool. The plant would employ 41 people once it was operational. A planning application would be submitted shortly, it said.
