Surat to generate energy from waste

Surat will be the first city in Gujarat to generate electricity from waste if all goes well with its proposal for setting up a 600 tonne capacity waste to energy facility. This facility  can generate 12 MW of power. The municipal corporation in Surat has invited tenders from interested companies for the project on build, own, operate and transfer (BOOT) basis. The developer will operate and generate electricity for 25 years and then project will be transferred to the civic body.Contact: The Surat Municipal Corporation.Tel: 0261-242 3751.
