Incinerator goes on Display

Islanders had the chance to take a tour around the incinerator yesterday at La Collette as part of Jersey’s first Construction Week.
And today a plaque will be unveiled by the Lieutenant-Governor, Lieutenant-General Andrew Ridgway, in a topping out ceremony.

The £110 million energy-from-waste plant is Jersey’s most expensive capital project and will burn 105,000 tons of waste per year.
Yesterday the public were given a tour around the site as part of a week-long event organised by the Jersey Construction Council.

Today marks a significant point in the construction and in November boilers will be fired up for testing.

Jersey currently burns about 80,000 tons of waste per year and the incinerator will allow up to 105,000 tons to be burned. During the process, ten megawatts of electricity will be generated – the equivalent of supplying between 6,000 and 10,000 homes with electricity per year. The tree main contractors on the site are Constructions Industrielles de la Méditerranée, Spie Batignolles and Camerons.
