Construction has started on of a state-of-the-art Energy from Waste facility to treat up to 60,000 tonnes of residual, non-recyclable waste from households across Exeter, East Devon and Teignbridge.
The project is a partnership between Devon County Council, Viridor and TIRU and will produce enough electricity to supply around 5,000 homes. In addition the plant has the potential to run a District Heating scheme.
Energy produced by the waste treatment process will be fed back into the national grid, reducing running costs and offsetting the facility’s own energy consumption.
The £45m investment, which is the first of its kind in Devon, is due to be operational in the summer of 2014.
