Firm: Allen & Overy (John Laing)

Deal: Allen & Overy has advised John Laing Group on its $51.5 million investment in the East Rockingham Resource Recovery Facility in Perth, Australia.

Area: Projects

Value: $51.5 million

Key players: The A&O team was led by partners Simon Huxley and Michael Parshall, who were supported by senior associates Melissa Grinter and Daniel Harris and graduate Lisa Jiang.

Deal significance: The East Rockingham Resource Recovery Facility will be a utility-scale waste-to-energy plant, A&O said in a statement, “diverting waste from landfill and generating renewable energy for Western Australia’s electricity network”.

“The Facility is expected to be operational by 2023, processing around 300,000 tonnes of residual waste per year and generating approximately 28.96MW of renewable energy for WA,” the firm said.

“The East Rockingham Resource Recovery Facility is a significant asset in Australia’s efforts to send less waste to landfill and generate more renewable energy,” Mr Parshall said.

Mr Huxley added: “Sustainable energy and waste management solutions are fundamentally important to many Australians, and we are thrilled to have worked with Ben Chadwick and the team at John Laing on its substantial investment in a project that will manage waste effectively, cut emissions and generate renewable electricity for Western Australia.”
