Lakeside Energy

A joint venture project between two of the UK’s leading recycling and waste management companies; Grundon Waste Management and Viridor. The Lakeside EfW facility at Colnbrook near Slough has been operational since 2010. Using advanced technology, this plant processes over 450,000 tonnes of residual waste per year, generating 37MW of power – enough to provide electricity to every household in Slough (56,000 homes). There is an education centre adjacent to Lakeside EfW, where schools and other groups can learn about sustainable waste management and energy from waste.
