FCC Environment and Buckinghamshire County Council will operate the facility, which will be located in Calvert, Edgcott, Aylesbury.
Metso will deliver a DNA automation system, a DNA information management system and a safety system for the project.
The deal also requires Metso to provide engineering, commissioning support, startup support und customer training.
Metso will supply the solutions in December 2014 which the company says will help the facility extract maximum energy value from the thermal treatment of residual waste.
HZI is the EPC contractor for the facility, which has a 102MW thermal capacity.
The facility will lower the volume of landfill waste and also meet the UK Government’s climate protection requirements.
Upon completion, the facility will be capable of treating 300,000 tons of waste a year, generating 22MW of energy for about 36,000 homes.
Metso automation sales director for EPS, Central and Eastern Europe Rene Neubert said: "Metso was chosen as the automation system supplier for the project because of its good project execution know-how and long track record with seven earlier projects for HZI.
"FCC owns the Zistersdorf energy-from-waste facility in Austria to which we delivered our first order from HZI in 2008. The plant has been very satisfied with our Metso DNA system as well as our local service."
