P2 Billion Waste To Energy Power Plant To Be Constructed In Pampanga
A P2 billion Waste-to-Energy (WTE) facility will be established
in Porac, Pampanga in line with local government’s solid waste management
program.
Porac Mayor Condralito “Carling” Dela Cruz disclosed this
during the Area-Based Management Summit For Manila Bay held at the Royce Hotel
on Wednesday, December 14.
Furthermore, almost all of the barangays in this town
maintain their respective MRFs, according to Dela Cruz.
“The governor and I already talked about the expansion of
our municipal MRF so that the waste segregation process will be maximized.
Aside from this, a group of investors will put up a power plant that will
convert waste into electricity,” said Dela Cruz.
“The machinery that will be used in this technology from
Czechoslovakia is capable of segregating waste by itself,” he added.
The proponents of the project are eyeing Barangay Mitla as
the location of the waste-to-energy plant, Dela Cruz said.
Moreover, the Mayor added that the project passed all the
requirements of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and other
government agencies.
“The facility can accommodate solid waste from other towns
in Pampanga,” said Dela Cruz.
He also added that the municipal government will generate
revenues from the project in terms of taxes, shares from sales of electricity
and hauling fee.
WTE or energy- from-waste is the process of generating
energy in the form of electricity and/or heat from the incineration of waste.
