The consortium developing the East Rockingham Resource Recovery Facility has awarded SUEZ the role of waste management partner for the project for a minimum term of 20 years. The consortium of Hitachi Zosen INOVA, Tribe Infrastructure Group and New Energy Corporation was established in 2016.

The project encompasses the design, construction, financing and operation of a greenfield Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facility in the Rockingham Industry Zone 40km south of the Perth Central Business District. The new facility will treat approximately 300,000 tonnes per year of residual waste from municipal, commercial and industrial sources and up to 30,000 tonnes per year of biosolids. The EfW facility will generate 29 MW of reliable renewable energy, enough to power over 36,000 homes. The start of construction activities is planned to take place in 2019. 

SUEZ will supply at least 65,000 tonnes per year of Commercial & Industrial waste and will lead the delivery of a 20-year operations & maintenance service to the project in partnership with HZI and New Energy. The company will also provide best-practice collection & disposal services for fly ash residue and non-processible waste at its resource recovery facilities in Briba Lake and North Bannister. Furthermore, SUEZ will purchase reliable renewable electricity generated by the project for its operational requirements across its business in the Perth area.
