Vinca waste-to-energy PPP project in Belgrade

closed

The project includes the design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of a waste treatment and disposal facility under a long-term PPP contract. The 340,000 tons p.a. the waste-to-energy facility will have an installed power production capacity of 30 MW and heat production capacity of 56 MW. The plant will generate over 80 MW of renewable heat and electricity.The private partner will also deliver a recycling facility for Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW), which will process 200,000 tons of waste per year, remediate an existing dumpsite and develop a new sanitary landfill for residual waste. All facilities will be located in Vinča, in the vicinity of Belgrade, Serbia.This PPP project also includes the gradual closure of the existing Belgrade landfill located in the immediate suburbs of Vinča, on the banks of the Danube. Opened in 1977, this 40-hectare landfill is one of the 50 largest active landfills in the world and the only one in Europe to be listed by the International Solid Waste Association 2. Its gradual closure will contribute to improving the environmental impact as well as the water quality of the Danube.
