Enfinium has secured a three-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with ENGIE to supply electricity from its new Skelton Grange facility in Leeds. Starting in 2025, the plant will generate 390 GWh of electricity annually, enough to meet the needs of 140,000 UK homes. The deal aligns with ENGIE’s strategy to offer customers reliable, low-carbon energy while supporting sustainable waste management.
The Skelton Grange facility, due to begin operations in summer 2025, will play a critical role in decarbonising waste management in the region. By processing unrecyclable waste, the plant will divert 410,000 tonnes from landfill each year, significantly reducing its environmental impact. In addition, the Aire Valley Heat and Power Network will tap into waste heat from the facility to provide sustainable heating solutions, supported by £19.5 million in government funding.
The development of the £500 million Skelton Grange facility is expected to have a long-term economic impact, creating over 400 construction jobs and 40 permanent roles once fully operational, thereby bolstering the local economy and contributing to the UK’s energy security.
