05 Oct 2021 CW Team

On Thursday, Sterling and Wilson Solar told the media that it has acquired a Rs 1,500 crore order for its waste-to-energy project from energy assets developer in the UK and Europe.

As per the official press release, the facility will process 23.2 tonnes of non-recyclable solid municipal waste every hour, diverting more than 185,600 tonnes of waste per year.

It will produce 19.6 MW of energy, enough to power more than 30,000 homes and will also render heat that can be utilised by nearby businesses.

Last month, the firm had declared the expansion of its renewable energy offerings to cover hybrid energy, energy storage and waste-to-energy solutions.

Amit Jain, global chief executive officer of the firm, told the media that this was a vital project for the region in terms of sustainability and renewable power production.

Additionally, he said that with more than two billion tonnes of municipal waste generated worldwide every year, the treatment of non-recyclable trash that otherwise releases methane from landfills will help in lessening greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

The project construction will commence in the third quarter of FY 2021-22 and will take more than three years to launch.
