Dunbar Energy From Waste Project Hand Over Complete

Interserve and project partner Babcock & Wilcox have announced that they have handed over the Dunbar renewable energy plant project to Viridor Enviroscot Ltd.

The Dunbar Energy Recovery Facility, a municipal waste-to-energy plant in East Lothian, can process up to 38 tons of municipal waste per hour, delivering power to thousands of homes and businesses. It will contribute towards the Scottish Government's target of sending zero biodegradable municipal waste to landfill by 2021.
