EfW (or WtE, waste-to-energy) incineration plant project. A joint venture UK energy company SSE Thermal and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP). Japanese-Swiss Hitachi Zosen Inova (HZI) company has been selected as the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor and the technology provider. The design capacity of the plant provides 440-480 000 tonnes per year of mainly commercial waste from the Greater London Area and and generate around 46-49.9 MW of electricity that will be fed into the National Grid. Construction commenced in May 2021. The plant will be located on a parts of the former heat and power plant that was acquired by SSE in January 2008. In August 2018, decommissioning and demolition works began to facilitate the development of a new WtE plant. One of the feature parts of the complex of the former plant - the cooling tower - will be preserved and integrated into the new facility. Construction is expected to take approximately three and a half years.
Following the Ferrybridge Multifuel 1 (FM1) and Ferrybridge Multifuel 2 (FM2) plants in West Yorkshire, the Slough installation is already the third plant built by HZI in conjunction with SSE Thermal, and HZI’s thirteenth project in the UK.

The former Slough Heat and Power Plant for the industrial estate had two Olympus turbojets as part of the generating set which forms a multi-megawatt combined heat and power station on the Slough Trading Estate. SHP used biomass fuel in the form of woodchips and fibre to generate electricity, hot water and/or steam. The electricity is distributed to the National Grid providing about an averaged 2,500 homes with electricity and about 400 commercial and industrial enterprises on the Trading Estate with electricity and heat.
