The new facility treats mu­nic­i­pal and in­dus­trial waste that cannot be reused or recycled. Located on the Poolbeg peninsula, it will generate energy from up to 600,000 tonnes of waste per year that would oth­er­wise go to landfill or be exported for thermal treat­ment abroad. Generating enough elec­tric­ity for 80,000 homes annually, it also has the po­ten­tial to provide district heating for the equiv­a­lent of a further 50,000 homes. The facility has been designed to provide highly ef­fi­cient in­cin­er­a­tion which is clas­si­fied as energy recovery in line with EU policy on waste and offers the best en­vi­ron­men­tal solution to reduce waste, maximise re­cy­cling, minimise landfill, and generate energy from residual waste. t waste processed annually MWh electricity generated Dublin City Council appointed CDM Smith as the client’s repre­sen­ta­tive for the construc­tion and commis­sion­ing phases of the project. Construc­tion commenced in 2014 and the facility became operational in late 2017. On behalf of the City Council, our team monitored the design and construc­tion activities to ensure that the work meets the terms of the Public Private Partnership and all statutory require­ments, licences and consents. We also reviewed factory acceptance testing of all major components, including the refuse crane, boiler plant, turbine generator and air pollution control equipment. In addition, our team provided commercial, legal, commu­ni­ca­tions and envi­ron­men­tal support to the City Council on the project. The new waste to energy plant is essential infra­struc­ture for the Dublin region.
