Awarded in 2013,
the 30-year contract is
worth nearly
1.095 million euros
(920.4 million pounds)
Paul Taylor, the Chief Executive of
FCC’s subsidiary in the United Kingdom
said during the inauguration ceremony
that the “Greatmoor EfW will convert
Buckinghamshire’s household and bu-
siness waste, that is, material that can-
not otherwise by recycled, into renewa-
ble energy. This will reduce the county’s
dependence on landfill disposal”. The
30-year contract represents significant
financial and sustainability benefits for
Buckinghamshire.
According to Taylor, “: “The construction of
Greatmoor EfW marks an important step
forward for FCC Environment as the bu-
siness continues to develop, focusing on
its customers’ requirements for extracting
value, in the form of energy, from the was-
te left over after recycling has taken place.
Greatmoor EfW represents an integrated
service that the county can be proud of.”
Addresses environmental challenges
Antonio Alfonso, managing director of
FCC Medio Ambiente Internacional, said,
“The Greatmoor EfW marks a step forward
for FCC as a global partner of cities and
administrations that want to address en-
vironmental challenges. The commissio-
ning of this plant showcases our ability to
provide energy-from-waste solutions with
public-private finance models (PPP)”.
In 2011, Buckinghamshire City Council
accepted FCC Environment’s bid for the
non-recyclable waste treatment contract.
In April 2013, after securing the neces-
sary urban and environmental permits, the
Buckingham City Council awarded the de-
finitive contract for a term of 30 years.
