In Wales, Viridor has signed a Public Private Partnership contract with Cardiff City Council, acting on behalf Prosiect Gwyrdd; a partnership of five local authorities from across South Wales, to treat the councils’ residual waste over the next 25 years. The waste from the five authorities will be treated at Viridor’s Energy from Waste facility that is currently being built at Trident Park, Cardiff , with expected completion in 2014.
Prosiect Gwyrdd will deliver an average of 172,000 tonnes of waste per year plus up to 178,000 tonnes of commercial and industrial waste from across South Wales. Operating at its full capacity of 350,000 tonnes, the facility will generate 28 MWE.
