About South Clyde Energy Centre
The South Clyde Energy Centre is an Energy-from-Waste Facility (EfW) under construction and jointly owned by Fortum and Gren Energy, in Glasgow, Scotland.
The facility will enter commercial operations by the end of 2026.
The South Clyde Energy Centre will generate energy from non-hazardous domestic and commercial waste left over from the recycling process.
Key benefits:
Generating up to 45 Mwe gross of lower carbon electricity - enough to power the equivalent of around 70,000 homes.¹
Creating Scottish energy resilience by generating power straight into the grid.
Preventing approximately 350,000 tonnes of residual waste going to landfill or being exported outside of the UK each year.
Once operational, creating around 40 permanent jobs on site for operations and maintenance and while in construction supporting approximately 500 construction jobs, in addition to supply chain opportunities for local businesses.
