Joburg Alternative Waste Treatment Technology (AWTT) Project

procurement underway

The City of Johannesburg is advancing the procurement of its Alternative Waste Treatment Technology (AWTT) project, a waste-to-energy initiative aimed at diverting about 500,000 tons per year of municipal solid waste from landfill. The project will be implemented through a public-private partnership and will comprise a materials recovery facility and a waste-to-energy plant. A private partner will design, build, finance, operate, and maintain the facility over a 25-year concession period, with ownership reverting to the city at the end of the term. The facility will process mixed municipal waste, convert residual waste into electricity, recover recyclable materials, and reduce landfill dependency.
