Notes: The La Collette incinerator replaces the old Bellozanne incinerator. Accepted household waste for the first time on the 27th of December 2010 [Source]. In April 2016 it was announced that Guernsey’s waste would be sent to Sweden rather than to Jersey as Jersey was too expensive [Source]. In January 2022 it was reported that a fault with the incinerator was costing the Government £325,000 due to a faulty generator [Source, Source]. In August 2025 it was reported that "there is no reference to the Energy Recovery Facility at La Collette in the recently published ‘Investing in Jersey’ strategy – a 25-year government framework for investing in the island’s infrastructure", which some speculated as meaning that no decision had yet been made to replace the incinerator which due to reach its end of life by 2036.

Standard notice:

UKWIN (and therefore the UKWIN map) focuses on Municipal Waste Incinerators, whereas our colleagues at Biofuelwatch focus on biomass projects. If you are interested in biomass incinerators (including waste wood plants) over 20MW then please see the Biofuelwatch map of UK Biomass Power Stations. Those concerned about biomass plants, including waste wood plants, should email Biofuelwatch at biofuelwatch[at]gmail.com.

Please be aware: There is always room for improvement, so please send updates to coordinator@ukwin.org.uk. Existing Incinerator means a facility that is operational or under construction/commissioning. A Potential Incinerator is a facility where there is a proposal for an incinerator (e.g. planning application or planning consent) or other reason to believe an incinerator might be built/proposed in the future. A Prevented Incinerator is something which used to be a proposal or expected incinerator which we do not believe is currently being progressed (e.g. because the project was cancelled, planning permission refused, or years have gone by since the permission was granted without any progress) - in some cases a facility marked as prevented is being progressed without us being aware or is subsequently revived. Capacity is usually the permitted or maximum advertised capacity of the facility.
