The Dunbar energy-from-waste plant.
Interserve and its project partner Babcock & Wilcox have handed over the delayed Dunbar renewable energy plant to client Viridor Enviroscot.
The Dunbar facility is the first of three troubled energy-from-waste plants that Interserve and Babcock & Wilcox have been battling to finish.
The new plant can process up to 38 tonnes of municipal waste per hour, delivering power to thousands of homes and businesses. It will contribute towards the Scottish government’s target of sending zero biodegradable municipal waste to landfill by 2021.
Dougie Sutherland, executive director at Interserve, said: “We are pleased to have completed the Dunbar project and handed it over to our customer Viridor Enviroscot. This is an important milestone in the transformation of Interserve.”
Earlier this month, US-based Babcock & Wilcox revealed that four plants it is involved in would be handed over in the first and second quarters of this year, having originally been expected to be completed in 2017.
Three of those plants were Interserve’s energy-from-waste plants at Margam, Rotherham and Dunbar. The fourth is a plant on Teesside built by Lagan, now in administration.
Interserve announced in 2016 that it would exit the EfW sector.
