Delhi Metro becomes India’s first project to receive power from waste-to-energy plant

Delhi Metro has become the first ever project in India to receive power generated from a waste-to-energy plant.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has started receiving 2 MW power from a 12 MW capacity waste-to-energy plant set up in Ghazipur. DMRC will take approximately 17.5 million units per annum from this plant.
The waste-to-energy plant set up by East Delhi Waste Processing Company Limited (EDWPCL) is based on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) involving the Delhi government and East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC), besides the EDWPCL.
