The Burning Issue

Local Partnership’s Hattie Parke on the looming end of PFI deals, what happens next, and a little bit about RDF


Listen Later

Every fortnight the Burning Issue looks at different elements of the energy recovery sector, taking the starting point that while energy recovery has moved some waste out of landfill, where does the sector go from here?


In this eighth episode of series two, the Burning Issue speaks to Hattie Parke as she takes on a new role as director of climate at the government-owned public-private partnership unit known as Local Partnerships. Parke has experienced the EfW sector before at consultancy Eunomia, which is the secretariat of the RDF Industry Group and is still active in it now. 


The episode focuses on:


  • Opportunities and problems for the EfW sector as long term PFI deals end
  • Why 25 year contracts are “probably” a thing of the past
  • What local authorities need to do now to get the best value for taxpayers
  • Staying on top of a changing policy environment
