Grangemouth plant turns residual waste into power and steam, with availability running at >92% this year 

Earls Gate Energy Centre in Grangemouth has received more than half a million tonnes of residual waste since it entered commercial operation in March 2024. That is half a million tonnes of material diverted from landfill and put to work generating power and steam.

The milestone comes during a strong operating year. Since 1 April 2026, the plant has been available >92% of the time, while steam export availability has reached 98%. Waste deliveries are also running ahead of plan, with more than 141,000 tonnes received so far this year. 

Martin McCaffery, Managing Director, Brockwell Energy Services Limited, commented:

Passing half a million tonnes is a landmark for Earls Gate. It reflects the reliability of the plant and the commitment of the people who run it every day, and it shows what a dependable, local source of energy can be realised from waste.

Earls Gate is operated day to day by Kanadevia Inova, working with Brockwell Energy and a network of waste partners. We would like to thank everyone on site, and all of our partners, for their part in reaching this milestone.
