The first processing plant for solid municipal waste in Greece to also produce biogas went into operation on Wednesday at Eleftherochori in western Greece, following a public-private partnership (PPP) investment project worth 52.6 million euros, ANA reports.
The project, Epirus Waste Processing Plant (EWPP), was carried out by the Epiros Region and Sustainable Epirus, a subsidiary of Terna Energy Group, with the support of the inter-ministry Special Secretariat for PPPs.
EWPP’s maximum annual capacity is 105,000 tn. It will salvage an average of 17,000 tonnes of recyclables per year, and produce 1,800 Wh/yr of Green Energy, equivalent to the needs of 3,000 families.
