hree firms battling to win £2bn household waste to energy plant contract THREE firms are in the running to win a contract to operate a huge new energy plant which will take household waste from seven North-East councils. The plant, which is expected to be built on a 25 acre site near Redcar, will take up to 450,000 tonnes of solid waste a year which cannot be recycled, diverting it from landfill, and creating renewable energy and heat from it. The five Tees Valley councils – Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton, along with Durham County Council and Newcastle City Council have joined together to create an opportunity for a contractor to design, build, operate and finance the energy recovery facility.
