North Beck Energy Secures Planning Permissions for 50MW Energy from Waste Plant : Green Light for £220m Waste to Energy Plant in Immingham, UK

North Beck Energy Ltd has secured planning approval for a £220 million waste to energy facility which will generate nearly 50 MW of electrical energy in Immingham, UK.

Headquartered on the Isle of Wight, the company was created specifically to develop the new Energy Centre at Immingham with a project management team also working on Humberside.

The company said that the waste material it processes would otherwise have been destined for landfill disposal in the UK or exported as fuel to energy plants in mainland Europe.

According to North Beck more than 300 jobs will be created during the project’s three-year construction phase, benefiting job seekers throughout the Humber region, followed by 40 full time posts at the energy plant during at least 25 years of operation.

A decision notice has been issued by North East Lincolnshire Council (NELC) to project developer North Beck Energy Ltd, granting permission to build the plant on vacant land zoned for industrial use, to the south east of Immingham Port.

Energy, in the form of electricity and potentially heat, will be recovered every year from about 500,000 tonnes of waste derived fuels.

The 49.5 MW of power will be generated 24/7, replacing fossil fuel plants nearing the end of their operational lives and making it available in homes and businesses, whether or not the wind blows or the sun shines.

“With construction and funding arrangements nearing completion, we are now looking to finalise fuel supply agreements with suppliers,” said James Baker, North Beck Energy’s Development Director. “We expect to have all this in place by mid-2019 so that building work can start on site within the next 12 months.”

“Using domestically sourced fuel, North Beck Energy will deliver a secure output of energy, unaffected by political and economic changes overseas and provide an economically stable investment for North East Lincolnshire,” he continued. “The benefits of this financial commitment, in terms of the jobs we are creating in this area, will be felt for a long time to come.”

Neil Etherington, Able UK’s Business Development Director, added on behalf of the land owner: “We have been working closely with North Beck Energy to bring this exciting project to fruition. With planning permission now in place, we have every confidence they will provide an important further element in the Humber’s emerging ‘Energy Estuary’ proposition.”
