What will happen to the energy from the plant?

The energy will be in the form of electricity and possibly heat.

It can be used to provide electricity for up to 30,000 homes, equivalent to the size of Down District Council area.

EfW, as well as helping meet statutory waste targets, will also contribute towards addressing Northern Ireland’s energy deficit, help slow the depletion of fossil fuel sources and improve the security of our energy supply for the future.
