Environmental energy: Superb market prospects
With incineration capacities of 1.6 million tonnes a year, MVV Energie is Germany‘s third-largest operator of energy from waste plants.
Our Group is one of the largest operators of Energy from waste and Biomass Plants. In the 2010/11 financial year, 1.8 million tonnes of waste, refuse-derived fuel and timber were incinerated to generate energy at our locations.
The 4% growth (1,8 Mio t) in the 2010/11 financial year in the volume of combustible waste delivered reflects our Group’s successful expansion of its energy from waste business.
Of the total volume delivered, 88% was attributable to Generation and Infrastructure. The figures for this reporting segment include the higher volume of waste for the new boiler no. 6 in Mannheim, which is supplied via our subsidiary MVV Umwelt Ressourcen GmbH.
The significant increase in the Strategic Investments segment was mainly attributable to the Czech subgroup.
In our environmental energy business we have successfully entered the British market. We were awarded the contract for the construction and long-term operation of an Energy from waste Plant in Plymouth. Based on our extensive expertise in putting waste to ecological use, we will now be able to position ourselves in the British market. From 2014 onwards, the new plant should use around 245 000 tonnes of household, commercial and industrial waste a year to generate electricity and heating energy.
