Peel strikes waste deal with UK Coal
PEEL Environmental has struck up an agreement with UK Coal to build 11 energy from waste plants at UK Coal sites across the North and Midlands.
The deal was approved by UK Coal’s shareholders yesterday, but Peel Environmental director Myles Kitcher said they remain at an early stage, with no firm plans set as to which type of facility would be built within each location, but he added that the firm hoped to announce “some exciting projects” within the near future.
“Plans for the sites have still to be properly developed and be put through the subsequent formal planning process before any work or development of any kind can begin,” said Kitcher.
“The UK needs to invest in waste infrastructure developments if we are to manage our waste more sustainably, provide renewable sources of energy and, generally, contribute to the low carbon economy.”
He added that the 11 sites identified are ones which it feels “present great opportunities for the development of a range of waste-related infrastructure”.
