Overview of MVV in UK preforming on plan, working through the difficult year.

UK continues to offer growth for waste facilities. Balance of waste processing

around the country – importing waste from areas where EFW exceeds

capacity. Facilities in Dundee, Wisbch, Ridham and Plymouth.

 

Planning and approval for new facilities. Actively looking for new

opportunities. The Market continues offering opportunities for EFW and other

waste processing Facilities.

 

District heating, domestic heating supply – Round table with all social housing

providers and PCC. Conversations ongoing

 

Regeneration projects in Barne Barton – 2 Phase regeneration, Rebuilding

mixture of apartment’s flats and 2 to 3 bedroom houses, second phase in

conversation. Sanctuary housing undertaking new development, including

Care Home and cafe. Small domestic heating scheme able benefiting from

support and facilities. Ready to supply steam and hot water to a scheme.

 

Questions and comments from panel

Are groups still visiting the plant?

 

Jane clarified no unnecessary groups to site currently. Keen to start as soon

as possible. Able to deliver virtual support for schools. Geography students

created virtual tour of facility, currently software incompatible looking to

develop it to become a permeant part of website.

 

What is the current capacity for the plant? 265 left any further increase would

affect performance for facility.

 

Great to see number of complaints falling

 

Anthony Highlighted – Continuing to work on the heating working with housing

developers. 2019 report showed developments not viable even with significant

grants, NVV engaged with private sector energy companies for viable

approach, separate bid by PCC to explore alternative approach. Continuing

work to try and support.
