Karnataka’s first Waste-to-Energy (WTE) plant which is being set up at Bidadi is all set to start operations by October.
The plant, which is spread across 15 acres, has a capacity of 11.5 MW and is a joint project of Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL) and Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).
“We need to work closely with the city corporations for the waste-to-energy plants to be successful since they are the ones who supply the waste. The first project is coming up in Bidadi and it will be operational in the next two to three months,” said Energy Minister K J George.
