The partnership will see waste collected, recycled into clean heat and delivered through pipes to warm homes and businesses
The proceeds will support SSE’s plans to invest £7.5bn in low carbon energy infrastructure over the next five years as well as reduce its net debt
The initiative aims to connect suppliers with regulators and prioritise recycling through anaerobic digestion over other types of disposal such as energy recovery, incineration and landfill
The project will explore electricity generation from waste heat in the steel industry
Located just off the M1 motorway in the East Midlands, the facility will be able to process up to 350,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste annually
Around 180,000 tonnes of unrecyclable municipal waste will be converted into power
It will help divert 90% of all council waste and use it to generate enough electricity to power more than 26,000 homes a year
The projects are expected to divert more than a million tons of waste from landfill
Privilege Finance says the investment is linked to the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme, which offer payments for biomethane injected into the grid
The site has secured planning permission for an energy recovery plant, which could treat up to 350,000 tonnes of waste a year
