On Friday, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah inaugurated Gujarat’s largest waste to energy plant. Jindal Urban Waste Management Company will operate this plant and will sell the electricity generated from it to Gujarat Energy Development Corporation.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the Rs 375 crore project waste to energy plant under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) located on Peerana Road in Ahmedabad. This plant built under PPP will be operated by Jindal Urban Waste Management Company.
The agency will sell the electricity generated from this plant to Gujarat Energy Development Corporation at the rate of Rs 6.31 per kilowatt. AMC Standing Committee Chairman Devang Dani said that AMC collects the garbage collected from door to door garbage collection at the Peerana dumping site.
The garbage is processed and segregated here. Jindal Urban Waste Management Company’s plant will generate 15 megawatts of electricity every hour, i.e. 360 megawatts of electricity daily. The agency will generate 65 TPH steam by incinerating the solid waste from AMC in the boiler with the help of RDF based incineration technology. 15 MW of electricity will be generated per hour with the capacity of this steam.
In this way, a total of 1000 tons of solid waste will generate 360 MW of electricity daily. This electricity will be supplied to the power grid. It is worth mentioning that 5 thousand metric tons of garbage is deposited daily at the dumping site located in Pirana from Ahmedabad city. This garbage is processed and disposed of.
In this, a waste to energy plant will be operated by processing one thousand tons of garbage, which will generate about 360 MW of electricity daily.
