Devonport EfW CHP Facility – Site Visit
Date: Friday 5th April 2019
Venue: MVV Devonport, Plymouth, PL5 1FL
Join Peninsula New Member Network for a site tour, presentation and networking lunch at one of MVV’s largest UK projects.
This highly efficient facility processes 245,000 tonnes of household, commercial and industrial residual waste annually, supplying heat (23.3 MW) and power (22.5 MW) to HM Naval Base, Devonport.
The award-winning facility provides residual waste treatment solutions for the South West Devon Waste Partnership (SWDWP) comprising Plymouth, Devon and Torbay authorities.
MVV Umwelt, founded in 1873, is now one of Germany’s leading energy companies. In 2008 MVV Environment Ltd was established as a UK subsidiary and in 2011, the company was awarded the PFI design, construction and operation contract for the Devonport EfW CHP Facility, which was commissioned in 2015.
MVV also operate the Baldovie EfW facility in Dundee and are in the process of developing a new state-of-the-art facility for 110,000 tpa. The company also processes 172,000 tpa of waste timber through its Kent Biomass facility.
This event is open to all; however, delegates are advised that that the site is fully operational, and the site tour element is not suitable for those with mobility issues.
