Who is NLWA?
NLWA arranges the disposal of waste collected by the seven London boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington and Waltham Forest. With local councils they encourage and promote the three messages of reduce, re-use and recycle through waste prevention work in the community.
NLWA and the seven boroughs in the area have agreed a joint target for north London to aim for at least 50 per cent of its waste to be recycled by 2020.
What is this about?
North London Waste Authority (NLWA) has unveiled further details of the North London Heat and Power Project – a replacement for the Edmonton Energy from Waste facility in the London Borough of Enfield. The current facility has served north London for 45 years and has diverted 21 million tonnes of waste from landfill, but is due to reach the end of its life in around 10 years.
The replacement facility would be efficient, modern and provide heat for local homes and businesses. It could also be one of the best performing in Europe.
Using fuel – waste collected by the seven boroughs which cannot be recycled - the replacement facility would generate power for around 127,000 homes and could provide heat for local homes and businesses. Heat would be distributed locally through schemes like Enfield Council’s planned Lee Valley Heat Network.
