NESS Energy Project

The NESS Energy Project is an incinerator currently under construction in Aberdeen, UK. It is situated in East Tullos Industrial Estate on a site formerly used for gas storage.[1]

History

In February 2022, construction workers staged a walkout in a dispute over unpaid wages.[2]

Operation

The facility is designed to burn up to 150,000 tonnes of material per year, consisting of non-recyclable waste from Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council, and Moray Council.[3][4]

The facility will be operated by Acciona, who were awarded a contract worth approximately 400 million euros (£371 million) for the construction of the facility and its operation over 20 years.[5][1] The incinerator bottom ash produced by the facility will be transported by road to the site of the former Cairnrobin quarry near Portlethen, where it will be stored and processed.[3]
