Contractor contesting claims by parent of plant operator which says sum is for additional costs

The parent company of the firm behind the Glasgow energy-from-waste scheme has told original contractor Interserve it owes it £69m in additional costs.

Interserve won the job back in July 2012 which had a pricetag of £146m and an original completion date of early 2016.

But Interserve was kicked off the job at the end of 2016 and replaced by Doosan Babcock with the job, which will process up to 200,000 tonnes of waste annually, not now expected to be fully up and running until spring next year.
