Trident Park Energy from Waste and Combined Heat and Power facility in Cardiff will be designed predominantly to provide capacity for residual household waste with a proportion available for waste from local businesses.
It will be able to treat up to 350,000 tonnes of residual waste, or post-recycling waste, a year, generating around 30MW of electricity - enough to supply around 50,000 homes.
Cardiff City Council granted planning permission for the plant in June 2010. Construction is due to start mid-2012 with a total build programme of 37 months.
We are continuing to explore the opportunities for providing heat from the plant to nearby businesses and hope to firm up proposals in the coming months.
