eastcroft energy from waste facility
Waste Recycling Group operates the energy from waste facility at Eastcroft, Nottingham.
The energy from waste facility produces heat and power for local users by burning around 150,000 tonnes of waste from Nottingham and the county each year.
Waste is brought to the facility after people have sorted out materials for recycling at home and at the Household Waste Recycling Centres.
Energy produced from burning waste helps to reduce the need for non-renewable fossil fuels and produces electricity for the local grid and heat (in the form of steam) for homes in the city centre.
In August 2007, WRG submitted a new planning application for a third line at the Eastcroft Energy from Waste facility that would increase capacity from 150,000 to 250,000 tonnes a year.
In December 2007, following the sixteen week period in which local authorities are expected to determine major planning applications, WRG submitted an appeal for its planning application which will now be determined by an independent inspector at a planning inquiry (please see our latest news release for more details).
