The construction is a new energy from waste plant to be called the Kelvin plant and operated by Enfinium. It is a £500 million project and will process (incinerate) 395,000 tonnes of waste per year and generate 44MW of electricity, making it amongst the biggest such plants to date. There are ambitious aspirations that it may one day contribute to net zero with carbon capture and electrolytic hydrogen production. The tallest structure houses the top-hung water tube boiler and to its right is a huge concrete storage bunker. The plant is due to commission in 2025.
