Who operates Auchencarroch Landfill?

The application was submitted on 20 November 2000. Permission was granted on 10 May 2001, 6 months later. The site became operational on 15 August 2002, 15 months after consent.

Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0, plus planning designation boundaries from planning.data.gov.uk (England only). REPD is published quarterly and covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above. Capacity is the installed capacity on record, not metered generation.
