NEPRA on Monday, July 16, 2018, approved a generation license for Lahore Xingzhong Renewable Energy Company (Private) Limited, for setting up of a 40 MW waste-to-energy based power plant at Lakhodair, district Lahore.

The project will deploy state of the art incineration type generation facility and the most suitable waste to energy technology.

The project will reduce the city’s municipal waste by 2000 tons/day and generate electricity based of that.

NEPRA had previously announced a Competitive Upfront Tariff of US Cent 10.007/kWh for waste to energy project based on 25 years of operational period, with an overall capacity cap of 250 MW. The share of each province in this regard had been kept at 50 MW for each province and the Federal Territory.

 

Successful implementation of the project would have the effect of paving the way for other such initiatives to solve pressing waste disposal problems and challenges of limited space for landfill and gas emission, resulting in cleaner cities and a healthy life for its citizens.
