Enviroenergy Limited is a company wholly owned by Nottingham City Council. We use the steam produced when domestic and commercial waste collected in Nottingham is burnt at the Eastcroft incinerator.
At our premises on London Road we convert this heat into electricity and hot water. Electricity is supplied to major customers using dedicated cabling. Hot water is distributed to customers over our extensive pipe network that covers much of the city centre. Customers have heat exchangers rather than boilers to keep their building warm and to provide a constant supply of hot water.
Our customers include the new National Ice Arena, the Broadmarsh and Victoria shopping centres, the Inland Revenue offices beside the canal, Capital Ones UK headquarters and Nottingham Trent University as well as over 4,600 domestic consumers.
In 2001 we generated 61,862 mWh of electricity.
We distributed 177,279 mWh for heat and hot water.
We use as fuel the waste produced by 250,000
..homes and businesses.
We have 60 miles of pipes beneath the streets of
..city centre Nottingham.
If energy were not recovered from Nottinghams waste, fossil fuels would be burnt and more land would be required for landfill sites. By using Nottingham Green Energy our customers are helping to tackle global warming and over time they will also save themselves money.
