Wilton Power Stations - Wilton 11

Wilton 11

On 9 August 2010, Sembcorp announced they were teaming up with SITA UK to build a £200 million waste to energy plant alongside the current plants, known as Wilton 11. The plant would treat up to 400,000 tonnes of waste a year to generate 35 MW of electricity. The plant should be covered by previous planning permission for the Wilton site, and construction is expected to begin in 2012, following public consultation, in time for a 2015 completion date. Between 150 and 200 jobs would be created in construction, and around 50 permanent jobs created once the plant is completed. There is a possibility that the plant could be supplied with waste using the site's already existing rail link.
