The Peterborough Renewable Energy Ltd (PREL), a subsidiary of Green Energy Parks, is undertaking the development of Peterborough Energy Park project in Peterborough, the UK.
The project involves the construction of an 80MW energy park on 13.7ha of land and planned to be developed in different phases. The first phase of the project will produce 36MW of energy.
The project includes the construction of a research and development center, two three-story buildings, a combustion chamber and plasma treatment chamber, powerhouse and substation, the installation of turbines and the laying of transmission lines.
The facility would be capable of processing or recycling up to 650,000 tons of commercial, agricultural and other waste, biomass and bio-crops and would generate 80MW of electricity annually.
The waste will be sorted into recyclables and leftovers. The recyclables will be recycled and the biomass residues will be gasified, creating electricity.
In November 2009, the project was approved. Davis Langdon was appointed as the lead consultant and owner's representative for the project in October 2010.
In November 2010, Tetronics was awarded the supply contract to supply Plasma Hazardous Waste Treatment Technology.
In December 2010, KNM Group Berhad was appointed as an EPC contractor for the project. In December 2015, the project is moving in slow pace due to funding issues.
On May 11, 2016, Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Berhad (EXIM) announced US$50million funding for development and construction of the first phase.
In October 2017, KNM Group awarded US$454 million engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) contract to China Western Power Industrial Co Ltd (CWPI) for the project.
Construction activities are expected to commence in 2018, and are expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2021.
