The plans to build the waste-to-energy facility were announced in 2014 and the companies have completed all planning, simulation, supplier logistics and preliminary design of the project.

"The plant will convert nearly 50,000t of raw waste into power every year."

Upon completion in 2017, the plant will convert nearly 50,000t of raw waste into power every year using Concord Blue’s Reformer technology.
