The ERF will divert around 427,000 tonnes of non-recyclable household waste from more polluting landfill every year, generating over 250 MWh of electricity per year, enough to power 95,000 homes.
The facility, was opened by Resources and Waste Minister Jo Churchill MP in March 2022.

The ERF will use approximately 25GWh per year of the available energy and the plastics reprocessing facility will have an estimated usage of 70GWh to 105GWh, depending on its processing requirements. Leaving 177GWh to 212GWh available to supply the National Grid network.
