The project includes
the construction of
Energy from Waste plant
at Greatmoor
The new plant
will create 300 jobs per
year over the three-year
construction period
Buckinghamshire County Council awar-
ded FCC Environment (the Citizen Services
Group’s subsidiary in Great Britain) a 30-
year residual waste treatment contract for
this county, about 70 kilometres northeast
of London.
The project approved by this British cou-
nty also contemplates the construction
and commissioning of energy from waste
recycling plant (EfW) in Greatmoor in the
outskirts of Buckinghamshire. The British
Environment Agency also awarded the co-
rresponding permits for commencing work
on these facilities.
After being awarded the Contract, Dan
Murphy, project director for FCC Environ-
Buckinghamshire
awards
FCC Environment
a 350 million Euro contract
ment said that the company “has the op-
portunity of offering an integrated waste
management solution for Buckinghamshire
County”. “This vital project will ensure that
Buckinghamshire can put an end to its re-
liance on landfill and sustainably treat resi-
dual waste”, he added. For the executive of
the environmental services company, “the
project will bring real economic and envi-
ronmental benefits for the County”.
The new Greatmoor EfW will convert urban
industrial waste (impossible to recycle up to
now) into renewable energy which would
help reduce the United Kingdom’s depen-
dence on fossil fuel for electricity. It will treat
more than 300,000 tons of waste per year
and the facilities will generate 22 MW of
electricity, equivalent to the energy required
by up to 36,000 homes, nearly all of the ho-
mes in the South Bucks district.
In terms of the economy, the construction
and start up of the new energy from waste
generation plant would create about 300
jobs through the three-year construction
phase.
