The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has given its green signal for the second waste-to-energy plant at Jawaharnagar.
A 19.8 MW waste-to-energy plant is already operational at Jawaharnagar and this second WtE plant will have a capacity of 28MW. Once operational, Hyderabad will generate around 48 MW of power from waste, making it the city with the highest capacity of waste-to-energy plants, as per a report in The New Indian Express.
Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited (REEL) will set up the plant at an estimated cost of Rs 650 crore.
