Connect with Viridor and Kanadevia Inova to explore supply chain opportunities on one of the Tees Valley’s major infrastructure projects.

The Tees Valley Energy Recovery Facility (TV ERF) is a major new infrastructure project being developed at Teesworks, Redcar.

Delivered by Viridor, with Kanadevia Inova (KVI) appointed as the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor, the facility will process approximately 450,000 tonnes of residual waste each year and generate up to 49.9MW of electricity, enough to power around 60,000 homes.

This Meet the Buyer event provides businesses with the opportunity to engage directly with the project team and explore potential opportunities within the TV ERF supply chain.

Businesses will be invited to register their interest in specific project packages and provide information about their products and services. Applications will then be reviewed and suitable suppliers will be allocated a dedicated 10-minute meeting slot with representatives from Kanadevia Inova and the wider project team.
