What the current energy from waste efficiency rating is of each incineration plant in Scotland, and how this compares with the efficiency r…

The following table shows reported efficiencies of each incineration plant for 2020. Installations are required to meet a 20% electrical efficiency from date of commissioning as set out in the Thermal Treatment of Waste Guidelines 2014 (TTWG 2014).
