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 contribute to net zero with carbon capture and electrolytic hydrogen production. This view is from alongside Spon Lane bottom lock.
