ACR+ member NLWA has given the green light to award a contract to build a new Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) at Edmonton EcoPark. The contract will mean north London’s rubbish will stay out of dangerous landfill sites for generations to come, representing a major step forward in seven councils’ efforts to tackle the climate emergency.
The ERF will treat rubbish as a resource for society to generate electricity for up to 127,000 homes and to generate heating and hot water for up to 50,000 local homes.
