Tyseley Energy from Waste Plant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tyseley Energy from Waste Plant is a large incineration plant in the Tyseley area of Birmingham, England. It burns rubbish and in the process produces electricity for the National Grid.
It was built in 1996 by Veolia to a design by Faulks Perry Culley & Rech.[1] The automated facility takes 350,000 tonnes of waste produced by the city annually and converts it into enough electricity to power 25,000 homes. Some of the electricity produced is used for an illumination show, which is visible within the four vertical structures on the outside of the building at night. The vertical bands change colour and the lighting scheme has won awards.
