THE BIG ONE

摘要

The Greater Manchester Waste PFI deal, which was signed in April 2009, is the biggest of its kind in Europe with a capital cost of ￡1bn, and an estimated lifetime cost of ￡3.8bn. Unusually, it has two special purpose vehicles: Viridor Laing for the whole scheme and Ineos Runcorn (TPS) for a 270,000MWh combined heat and power, energy from waste (EfW) plant which will supply power and heat for the chemical manufacturer Ineos Chlor.
