NEW DELHI, May 19:A 24 MW municipal
waste-to-energy plant in Delhi, one of the biggest projects of its kind in the
country, is likely to start functioning from June, North Delhi Mayor Sanjeev
Nayyar said today.
The Narela-Bawana plant will process 1,300 metric tonne of domestic waste.
"The plant which is one of the biggest projects of its kind in the country
is likely to be dedicated to the citizen in the first week of next month,"
Nayyar said.
He also visited the plant along with other civic authorities today.
1,300 metric tonne of waste would be disposed of daily to convert it into 24
mega watts of electricity, he said.
The waste dumped at the landfill site has been converted into Refused Derived
Fuel (RDF) which would be used as fuel for the plant.
This will help in disposal of solid waste and give respite to local residents
from garbage nuisance, he said.
About 80-85 per cent solid waste decomposed at the landfill site of
Narela-Bawana will be disposed completely and converted into compost and
electricity.
The North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) has collaborated with private
partner Ramky Solid Waste Management Solutions for this project, standing
committee chairman of the civic body Mohan Bhardwaj said.
NDMC Commissioner P K Gupta was also present on the occasion
