Kureepuzha to get ‘waste to energy plant’

KOLLAM: The Kerala State Industrial Corporation (KSIDC), has signed a lease deed with Kollam Corporation for implementing waste to energy plant project in the city. V R Raju, Secretary, Kollam Corporation and Jackson John, Deputy manager, KSIDC has signed the lease agreement for a period of 28 years. 

The waste to energy plant will have a capacity to treat 200 tonnes of solid waste daily, and it will require seven acres of land at Kureepuzha. The plant is going to be developed under public-private partnership (PPP) model.

The officials said, “Local bodies will collect solid waste from households and transport the same to the secondary bin locations. From there the operators will transport the same in fully covered compact vehicles to the waste to energy plant.”

The plant is expected to solve waste treatment issues in Kollam Corporation and its nearby areas once it becomes operational.
