Doosan Škoda Power to supply turbine for waste incineration plant under construction in Glasgow, Scotland

Doosan Škoda Power will supply a 45 MW steam turbine for a waste incineration plant under construction in Glasgow, Scotland. The plant will dispose of up to 350.000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste from landfill sites annually. Its annual electricity generation will be equivalent to the consumption of 70.000 households, Natálie Sedláčková, media representative for the Plzeň-based Doosan, told CTK today. The new facility is expected to produce its first „commercial“ megawatts by the end of 2025, when a ban on landfilling biodegradable municipal waste comes into force in Scotland. The company did not disclose the value of the contract.

In addition to the turbine, Doosan Škoda Power will also supply a gearbox, generator and air-cooled condenser, and will carry out the complete installation and commissioning of the turbine-generator set.

The Plzeň-based engineering company considers the supply an important reference in the waste incineration segment, thanks to its technical solution and scope. „And it is a continuation of the company’s success in the UK market, where it is now carrying out a larger number of projects at various stages of delivery,“ Sedláčková said. The Glasgow plant will process non-hazardous household and commercial waste that can no longer be recycled.
