Delhi: LG visits Okhla waste plant, says utilise its full capacity

NEW DELHI: During his visit to the Okhla waste-to-energy plant on Thursday, lieutenant governor Vinai Kumar Saxena directed civic officials to take steps immediately for increasing its pending capacity to fully utilise legacy waste and free the city of the garbage menace on a long-term basis.

The plant currently produces 23MW of electricity by consuming 1,950MT solid waste. Saxena directed officials to increase the garbage consumption by 1,000MT, which would also result in an additional 17MW power production. “This will take care of processing the entire 3,000MT of garbage being generated daily in the erstwhile south corporation,” stated the LG’s office.
