The 29 MW East Rockingham Resource Recovery Facility near Perth, Western Australia, has closed financing with John Laing Group joining as an equity investor for the project together with Spain's Acciona and Switzerland's Hitachi Zosen Inova.
The project involves the construction of an energy-from-waste facility that can accommodate 300,000 tonnes per year of residual waste from municipal, commercial and industrial sources and up to 30,000 tonnes per year of biosolids. It will generate 28.96 MW of reliable renewable energy, enough to power over 36,000 homes.
The project will be developed by the consortium of Hitachi Zosen INOVA (HZI), Tribe Infrastructure Group, and New Energy Corporation with SUEZ as a waste management partner for the project for a minimum term of 20 years.
