Slough Multifuel

Weedon Architects have been appointed to undertake Architectural Services on the new Slough Multifuel EfW for SSE Thermal

The Slough Multifuel project will have a generating capacity of 49.9MW. The plant will use up to 480,000 tonnes per year of pre-processed waste derived fuel.

Site preparation, which involved some demolition works and diversions of site services has now been completed. An existing cooling tower at the site will be reused as part of the project. The remaining part of the Slough Heat and Power plant which currently supplies energy, water and heat to its customers on the Trading Estate will not be affected by the works. The new multifuel plant, once complete, will be able to provide additional steam to the SHP heat networks.

The project construction commenced in 2021 and will enter its operational phase in 2024.
