The Department of the Environment (DoE) and Department of Finance and Personnel (DFP) are currently considering the case and once it has been approved the North West Region Waste Management Group (NWRWMG) will be in a position to award the contract to run the huge Energy from Waste (EfW) plant.

Environment Minister Alex Attwood stated: “NWRWMG has finalised its Appointment Business Case and has submitted it to DOE/DFP for approval.

“Once approved, this will allow the NWRWMG to consider appointing a Preferred Bidder.”

NWRWMG - comprising seven councils from Moyle to Strabane - is contracted to burn at least 120,000 tonnes of household waste that would otherwise be destined for local dumps each year.
