The £1.2 billion North London Heat and Power Project is one of the UK’s largest and most ambitious waste infrastructure redevelopments. Led by North London Waste Authority, it serves over 2 million residents across seven London boroughs and manages around 850,000 tonnes of waste per year.

Central to the project is the construction of a world-class Energy Recovery Facility, designed to:
• Generate up to 78 megawatts of electricity – enough to power 127,000 homes
• Supply low-carbon heating and hot water to 60,000 homes and businesses
• Operate with best-in-class emissions technology to improve local air quality
• Be Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)–ready, helping support the UK’s Net Zero targets

The redevelopment also includes:
• A new Resource Recovery Facility to boost recycling capacity
• 225 on-site training placements and 100+ apprenticeships for local residents
• A carbon saving equivalent to removing 110,000 cars from the road annually
• A long-term reduction in landfill dependency for over 50 years

This flagship project sets a new national standard for green energy recovery and sustainable waste management, unlocking significant environmental, social, and economic benefits for north London and beyond.
