The plan is central to a 拢900m contract that the West London Waste Authority has signed with a consortium led by Sita UK.
Sita UK will collect waste from the boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow and Richmond-upon-Thames and send it more than 100 miles to a new waste-to-energy plant in in Severnside, South Gloucestershire.
Sita is part of a consortium with Lloyds Banking Group and Itochu Corporation that has been named preferred bidder for the 25-year public private partnership deal.
The Severnside Energy Recovery Centre (SERC) already has planning permission and will cost 拢240m to build. Around 200 jobs will be created during its construction. It is expected to produce enough electricity to power 50,000 homes.
It will be built on a site adjacent to Seabank Power Station and the former Terra Nitrogen plant.
