NLWA Annual Report 2020/21
Annual Report 2020-21 1. Background 1.1 The Annual Report for the Authority is produced each year for the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in June. The report uses waste tonnage data which is still subject to final validation by the national waste data system, WasteDataFlow, so may be subject to further minor changes. Because this data validation is not completed until September each year the Authority usually also produces its annual Waste Strategy Monitoring Report, which includes the validated numbers, in December each year. 1.2 NLWA’s largest ever project – the North London Heat and Power Project, (NLHPP) continued as a key focus throughout the year. The NLHPP is the Authority’s project to replace the existing energy-from-waste facility at the Edmonton EcoPark with a new energy-recovery-facility (ERF) and to provide associated new assets which support recycling. Other recycling and waste prevention activities to manage and reduce the volume of residual waste are set out in the Residual Waste Reduction Plan 2020-2022 and were also implemented during the year. The remaining activities to deliver the 2004-2020 North London Joint Waste Strategy were also delivered. All of the targets within the joint waste strategy have now been achieved, with the exception of reaching a recycling rate of 50%. NORTH LONDON WASTE AUTHORITY / ANNUAL REPORT 2020-2021 2 2.

2020-05-26 XR Rebuttal of NLWA Claims
STATEMENT 26 MAY 2020 of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Media contact: +44 7710 269195 Hackney, Haringey, Islington [email protected] & Waltham Forest, together with Extinction Rebellion London TIME TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT incineration The North London Waste Authority (NLWA) has responded to calls for a pause and review of its North London Heat and Power Project (NLHPP)—which includes plans to construct a new incinerator in Edmonton— with statements that include some questionable claims. These statements appear in a letter signed by NLWA chair Cllr Clyde Loakes and dated 21 April 2020, and in a Hackney Citizen article of 11 March 2020, which quotes Hackney Cllr Jon Burke.1 They reveal that the NLWA still is not taking recycling or climate breakdown seriously. In this document, Extinction Rebellion (XR) corrects the record with the intention of convincing North London councillors to pause and review the NLHPP so that the seven boroughs that constitute the NLWA may be free to pursue more sustainable waste management options and help London meet its circular economy policy objectives. The current incinerator is operational until 2027, so there is time for a rethink, as long as procurement and preparatory works are put on hold. This rebuttal is meant as a complement to a letter that XR sent to all North London councillors on 11 March 2020. That letter provides a thoroughly sourced rundown of the environmental, financial, and governance problems associated with the NLHPP, as well as details on proven alternatives to incineration. It is available at: https://stop-edmonton-incinerator.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/2020-03-11-XR-incinerator-letter.pdf. -

Bankside Power Station’S Former Design Effect the Restoration and What Effect Did the Changes Have?
INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE EXTENDED ESSAY An Exploration into how Herzog & de Meuron designed the Tate Modern by considering the industrial attributes that affect the function of the museum. How did the Bankside Power Station’s former design effect the restoration and what effect did the changes have? Name: Maxim Goldau Student Number: Subject: Visual Arts King William’s College Centre Number: 26th September 2014 Word Count: 3791 1 Abstract: This essay explores the approach Herzog & de Meuron took to restore and design the Tate Modern. The building being restored was the Bankside Power Station, designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1947. The Power Station was designed with an industrial purpose at its heart. I wanted to discover what procedure was necessary to adapt a former industrial building to serve a very opposing purpose, which led me to my research question: “How did the Bankside Power Station’s former design effected the restoration and what effect did the changes have?” I proceeded by analysing the original structure of the Bankside Power Station and in which ways Herzog & de Meuron changed elements of the building; especially the reasons for changing sections of the building. I analysed the single parts of the former Power Station were investigated to gather information about the approach, ideas and intended effects. To investigate the structure of the Tate Modern, I was analysed various layouts and images. My main sources were online articles, essays and the homepages of the artists, the Tate and Herzog & de Meuron. Most articles were just documenting and informing the readers with the very basic information, but I found the website of Herzog& de Meuron reflected their thinking process. -

It is situated in north central London. Haringey is considered to be an outer London borough. However, its proximity and public transport access to Central London and its socio-economic make-up mean that it shares many characteristics with inner London boroughs. Haringey is strategically located in the London-Stansted- Cambridge-Peterborough Growth Area, and is therefore a focus for new housing growth by central government and the Greater London Authority. With strong links to the City, West End, the Upper Lee Valley and Stansted Airport the borough is very well placed as a business location and as a base for out-commuting. 1.2 Haringey is currently preparing its Local Development Framework Core Strategy – A New Plan for Haringey. This will guide growth in the Borough for the London Plan period to 2016 and beyond to 2026. Haringey has a target of 6,800 new homes for the period between 2006 and 2016/17. -

Bankside Power Station: Planning, Politics and Pollution
BANKSIDE POWER STATION: PLANNING, POLITICS AND POLLUTION Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Stephen Andrew Murray Centre for Urban History University of Leicester 2014 Bankside Power Station ii Bankside Power Station: Planning, Politics and Pollution Stephen Andrew Murray Abstract Electricity has been a feature of the British urban landscape since the 1890s. Yet there are few accounts of urban electricity undertakings or their generating stations. This history of Bankside power station uses government and company records to analyse the supply, development and use of electricity in the City of London, and the political, economic and social contexts in which the power station was planned, designed and operated. The close-focus adopted reveals issues that are not identified in, or are qualifying or counter-examples to, the existing macro-scale accounts of the wider electricity industry. Contrary to the perceived backwardness of the industry in the inter-war period this study demonstrates that Bankside was part of an efficient and profitable private company which was increasingly subject to bureaucratic centralised control. Significant decision-making processes are examined including post-war urban planning by local and central government and technological decision-making in the electricity industry. The study contributes to the history of technology and the environment through an analysis of the technologies that were proposed or deployed at the post-war power station, including those intended to mitigate its impact, together with an examination of their long-term effectiveness. Bankside made a valuable contribution to electricity supplies in London until the 1973 Middle East oil crisis compromised its economic viability. -
THE VIEW from MY WINDOW by GLYN ENGLAND
SUPPLEMENT TO THE HISTELEC NEWS AUGUST 2004 THE VIEW FROM MY WINDOW An historical perspective of the Electricity Supply Industry. by Glyn England JP, BSc(Eng), Hon.DSc(Bath), FEng,FIEE,CBIM Extracted from a Presidential Address given by Glyn England, then Chairman of the CEGB, on 2nd April 1982 to the Metals and Materials Association meeting at Bath University. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ INTRODUCTION I propose to interpret this title metaphorically as well as literally, using a few landmarks, past and present, as pegs for : - reflections on some aspects of the history of electricity supply in this country; considering some lessons that can be learnt from that past experience; and a few personal thoughts about the future, together with a mention of some of the CEGB's present preoccupations. In other words, I intend to think aloud about how things seem to me, from where I sit in my office on the fifteenth floor of the CEGB's headquarters building, Sudbury House, in one of the most historic parts of the City of London. Indeed, the industry as we know it today was really started by a big step forward in high-temperature materials technology which took place about 100 years ago. It was the development, by Swan and Edison, of a filament of carbon, which could be heated in a vacuum to incandescent temperatures that resulted in the production of the first practical incandescent lamp. We all know what a great impetus that gave to electrical technology. SPATE OF CENTENARIES I have mentioned one centenary. In fact, we in electricity supply are having quite a spate of centenaries about this time. -
