Viridor Ltd., the waste unit of Pennon Group, the U.K.’s third-largest publicly traded water utility, started building a 177 million-pound ($274 million) facility in Scotland that will turn trash into energy.
The plant will process 300,000 tons of waste a year to generate 30 megawatts of clean energy, enough to power 39,000 homes, Viridor said Friday. The works will also produce 10 megawatts of heat for local use, it said.
