WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 15th JANUARY 2013
Question
Are all the outstanding problems for the Energy for Waste Plant now resolved and, if not, what issues still remain?
How much electricity, shown as a percentage of its capacity, has been generated by the Plant?
How much waste has been burnt since the Plant became operational and what percentage of its capacity has it averaged?
Answer
The Energy from Waste plant will remain within its Defect Liability period for at least another seven months. During this period outstanding defects will be addressed and resolved by the contractor CSBC (Jersey) Limited. As previously stated in question 7124, CSBC (Jersey) Limited are responsible for addressing and financing all defects and snags that are a result of design, installation or component failure. The Transport and Technical Services department is responsible for failures of equipment if such failure is due to misuse or incorrect maintenance.
There are presently 66 outstanding snags and defects and of these, 17 are new defects that have been identified and registered since the 9th October 2012.
CSBC (Jersey) Limited are working with the Transport and Technical Services Department to resolve these issues.
The Energy from Waste plant's electrical power generation shown as a percentage of its full load capacity is 45.5% and 60.4% for the years 2011 and 2012 respectively.
Waste throughput since the plant became operational is 127,814 tonnes which represents an average of 61% of the maximum mass throughput.
The plant has processed approximately 100% of the waste that has been delivered to it since December 2010.
It is not possible to meaningfully calculate the plant's throughput by reference to a single parameter such as weight as the true capacity of the plant is limited by a combination of the mass and the energy content of the waste.
