MVV Environment Baldovie (MEB) operates the Energy from Waste facility at Forties Road, Dundee while building a new Energy from Waste Combined Heat and Power facility. It is a subsidiary of MVV Environment (“MVV”) which in turn is a subsidiary company of MVV Umwelt GmbH. Both companies are members of German utility company MVV Energie AG, whose headquarters are in Mannheim. MVV Umwelt provides flexible solutions for waste disposal, producing environmentally sustainable energy.

In November 2017, MVV entered into a contract with Dundee City and Angus Councils to manage their residual waste (that is black bag waste from the general waste bins). This is a long-term arrangement under which MVV has taken over and operates the existing energy from waste facility in Baldovie whilst building a new, modern facility next door.

The new facility will use around 110,000 tonnes of residual waste per year to generate electricity and steam. It will also aim to help fulfil the requirements of the Scottish Government’s hierarchical Zero Waste priorities on;

1. Reduce

2. Reuse

3. Recycle

4. Recover (energy, for example)

5. Dispose
