Gloucester Energy-from-Waste Facility Powers 25,000 Homes with Waste Management Innovations
The Gloucester Energy-from-Waste facility processes 190,000 tonnes of waste annually, generating energy for 25,000 homes. GCP Infrastructure Investments' strategic £48 million debt investment underscores the facility's long-term sustainability and revenue potential.

The Gloucester Energy-from-Waste facility, operational from 2019, incinerates 190,000 tonnes of waste each year, primarily sourced from Gloucestershire County Council. This facility generates over 14.6MW of power, sufficient for approximately 25,000 homes.
GCP Infrastructure Investments committed £48 million through senior secured debt at 7.92%, maturing in 2042, highlighting the appeal of the project's capital structure. Revenue is derived from gate fees under a 25-year Contract for Difference and additional sales to commercial waste producers.
Despite emissions concerns, the facility supports energy security and renewable targets while the sector explores carbon capture technologies. These investment contracts are crucial for viability in the energy-from-waste sector.
