SELCHP
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SELCHP is a major incineration plant located in London. SELCHP is an acronym for "South East London Combined Heat and Power" energy recovery facility. The combined heat and power system was designed for a district heating scheme that has never been implemented and the plant generates only electricity. The plant can generate up to 35MW of power using a steam turbine.[1]
In 1986, faced with the increasing scarcity and environmental problems of landfill, the London boroughs of Lewisham, Southwark, and Greenwich came together to search for an identify a realistic alternative. In 1988, they formed an organisation - the South East London Combined Heat and Power Consortium - from which SELCHP now takes its name.[2]
SELCHP is currently operated by Veolia Environmental Services.
