Lahore's Rachna power plant to produce up to 25MW of energy from… crap!
Lahore is about to get one of these incineration power plants!
Here’s some positive news on the power generation front. On the heels of the 75MW wind based energy project recently commissioned in Sindh, Lahore is now entering the alternate energy race. (I still want to do a post about the wind power project in Sindh, so I guess I shouldn’t steal much of my thunder on that subject now)
The Rachna Industrial Estate, just outside Lahore, is getting its very own state-of-the-art power plant. This new facility will allow refuse and garbage to be turned into useful – much needed – electricity. While the total output, at 25MW, is not all that high, it is still about 1% of the deficit we currently face. Not only that, getting energy from waste means a lower oil import bill, and frankly, a good place to send the waste to! Awesome all around. Here’s to many more Rachnas!
Here’s more from the Business Recorder:
