CHANDIGARH: Captain Amarinder Singh, Chief Minister of Punjab has given the go ahead to the building of a 7 MW waste-to energy plant in Mohali. The plant would be built in an area of over 50 acres in Simgauli of Mohali district. Addressing a meeting at his official residence, the CM approved an MoU between National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) and Municipal Corporation, Mohali, which is the nodal agency for the project.

The state government would run the plant under the build-own-operate model. The project would take at least two years for completion as a part of the GMADA-Patiala Municipal Solid Waste Cluster.

The waste-to-energy plant would generate energy from 600 tonnes of waste per day collected from Mohali and Patiala. The project would be a significant contribution to the implementation of the State Action Plan on Climate Change (SAPCC).
