Waste-to-energy plant in Ahmedabad produces 240 MW of electricity per day

Updated: Nov 8th, 2024


Approximately 240 MW of electricity is being produced daily in the 15 MW per hour capacity plant at Gyaspur at the waste-to-energy plant.

The electricity generated is supplied to Gujarat Electricity Board (GEB)’s grid.

After Jamnagar, this waste-to-energy plant is the second of its kind. About 15 acres of land was allotted to Jindal Urban Infrastructure in 2016 by the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) for this ₹375 crore project. The energy is generated at the plant from the solid waste collected by the corporation’s Solid Waste Department.

The plant was commissioned from November 1, 2024 after the state government extended the time limit for starting the plant.  1,000 tonnes of solid waste is being processed daily to generate electricity.

Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam will provide ₹6.31 per kilowatt-hour to the agency and ₹0.76 per kilowatt-hour to the corporation as viability gap fund for the electricity generated through the turbine with the steam generated by incinerating the waste in the boiler with the help of RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel - combustible components from solid waste) based incineration technology.
