In Delfzijl in the Netherlands, E.ON Energy from Waste erected a waste incineration plant in the Oosterhorn industrial park for the incineration of processed industrial and household waste.
In view of the great interest in reliable and cost-efficient electrical and thermal energy on the part of the industrial companies situated there, the location offered the best prerequisites for the 160 million investment project.

The advantage of the location consists in the fact that it is a purely industrial area. As a result, it already has an excellent power, gas and water infrastructure.
The connection to the Dutch waterway network, the Delfzijl harbour and the A7 highway guarantee good accessibility.

The construction of the waste incineration was aimed at securing the energy supply in the Oosterhorn industrial park in the long term. This is ensured by the two incineration lines of the plant that thermally utilise a maximum of 275,000 tons of waste per year. E.ON Energy from Waste Delfzijl supplies the neighbouring industrial companies with the generated steam of up to 140 tons per hour, thus saving close to 100 million m³ of natural gas.

With the construction of the plant, E.ON Energy from Waste Delfzijl has created approximately 50 new jobs at the power plant. In addition, about 100 indirect jobs were created in the logistics area and for ongoing maintenance and repair work.
