WITH EVEREY every passing day our power need is furiously growing and the conventional methods of power generation are proving to be inadequate. So to meet the ever growing demand of power it’s high time to look towards new innovative and unconventional methods of power generation. In a move towards this direction a waste-to-power production plant of 16 Mw power generation capacity is going to be installed in our national capital, New Delhi, for the first time. The power plant will run on garbage and solid waste and will generate enough electricity for at least 6, 00,000 homes.
Recently the foundation stone of the power plant, namely Timarpur-Okhla Municipal Solid Waste Management Project, was laid by Sheila Dixit, the honorable Chief Minister of New Delhi. In the initial stages of it’s operation the plant will generate 16 Mw of power using around 2,000 tonnes of solid waste from the municipal. It will cost around Rs.200 crore to establish this clean and green power plant, by the Jindal Ecopolis. If the building up process goes smoothly, the power plant is expected to be operational within 12-16 months from now. It’s worth noting here that the largest such waste-to-power plant is present in Paris with a capacity to process 5,000 tonnes of waste per day.
