Veolia secures contract to operate Turkey’s first waste-to-energy production site
In France, Veolia said it has been awarded the contract for the operation and maintenance of Turkey’s first waste-to-energy plant in Istanbul.
With a processing capacity of approximately 1.1 million tons of non-recyclable household waste per year, the plant will allow to save nearly 1.5 million tons of carbon emissions per year notably through the production of 560,000 MWh of electricity annually – the equivalent of consumption of 1.4 million inhabitants of the metropolis.
Under the terms of the agreement, Veolia will be responsible for the entire operations and maintenance of the plant, ensuring stringent compliance with the European Union’s environmental standards, improving energy efficiency and reducing utility consumption.
