United Kingdom – A consortium led by Sita UK, a subsidiary of Suez Environnement, has been selected by the West London Waste Authority as the preferred bidder for a resource recovery contract worth more than US$ 1.4 billion over 25 years. The other consortium members are Lloyds Banking Group and Itochu Corp.
The consortium will manage up to 300 000 tonnes of household waste each year from the West London Boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow and Richmond-upon-Thames. The material will be handled at a new energy-from-waste (EfW) facility in Severnside, south Gloucestershire, to where it will be transported by rail from West London.
Sita UK will take over the operation of two rail-linked waste transfer stations in West London. The EfW facility, which will be called the Severnside Energy Recovery Centre (SERC), has received planning permission. Sita UK estimates that the total capital investment in the new facility will be more than £240 million (US$ 373 million).
