Notes
I could not verify that an operating 8 MW waste-to-energy steam turbine generator at Chipping Norton exists from the sources searched; available official sources point to Benedict Recycling resource-recovery and biofuel-related activities at Chipping Norton rather than a clearly documented grid generator. Because no project-specific capex was found, financial and operating defaults were not substituted in order to avoid misclassifying benchmark values as reported project costs.
