Low Carbon and Waste Energy Power Partners (WEPP) have announced the sale of Doveryard Limited to funds managed by Octopus Renewables, which will see the construction of the Waste-to-Energy facility on the Oldhall Industrial Estate in Irvine, Ayrshire.

The planned facility, which has been in development for the last 3 years, will export 17 megawatts of low carbon electricity, enough to power 30,000 homes with the ability to provide high-quality heat and steam to nearby high-value businesses.

This facility will be the first large-scale, subsidy-free waste-to-energy project in western Scotland.
