GUNTUR: The stage is set for the launch of AP's first waste-to-energy (WTE) plant in Guntur. Chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy will dedicate the 350 crore project to the state on Tuesday.
Jindal group owned JITF Urban Infrastructure Limited has completed the 15 MW power plant at Naidupalem village on the outskirts of Guntur city. The plant will make use of garbage supplied by Guntur and Vijayawada municipal corporations and eight other municipal towns in Guntur district, including Mangalagiri, Tadepalle, Sattenapalle, Ponnur and Tenali. The 10 urban local bodies will supply around 1200 metric tonnes of garbage per day to the power plant.
