The plant benefits from a PPA with Sri Lanka'sstate-run Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) . Financial close was reached in August 2017. The WtE plant is expected to have a throughput of at least 500 tonnes of municipal solid waste per day. The plant will feature a hybrid design to minimise the amount of waste that is thermally treated. This will involve setting up waste sorting and mechanical biological treatment (MBT) units at the facility. Acucomm files |
