Wisbech, England. MVV Environment Medworth Ltd, a subsidiary of MVV Environment Ltd, together with Kanadevia Inova, has reached a key milestone in the development of the Medworth Energy from Waste Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Facility. With the signing of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) the project now officially enters its execution phase.

The NTP instruction follows the earlier conclusion of the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract between the two partners and marks the start of full-scale construction and implementation works onsite. This development brings the project, located on an industrial site in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, another step closer to realisation.

The Medworth Energy from Waste CHP Facility will be the Swiss Greentech’s 22nd project in the UK. Importantly, it will also be the first project Kanadevia Inova has delivered for MVV.

The highly efficient two-line facility will be capable of processing up to 625,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste per year, generating over 50MWe of electricity – enough to power around 150,000 homes. In addition, it will be able to provide up to 49MWth of heat, which will benefit local industrial customers and help them to reduce their long-term carbon footprint.

“This project carries particular significance, as it will be the company’s first scheme that Kanadevia Inova will deliver for MVV,” said Fabio Dinale, Executive VP of Business Development at Kanadevia Inova. “We are proud to be entering the construction phase alongside MVV. Our teams are ready to deliver this state-of-the-art facility, which will not only generate reliable baseload energy to power homes and businesses, but it will also make a vital long-term contribution to sustainable waste management in the region.”

MVV’s Managing Director, Paul Carey, said, “Following some preliminary enabling activities over the last few months, we are now starting the main construction works for our Medworth energy from waste combined heat and power facility. Initial works will comprise establishing the temporary construction compound, main site clearance and preparation for piling.”

By advancing the Medworth project, the East of England region takes another important step forward in reducing its reliance on landfill and supporting the UK’s broader climate goals.
