YTL Power International Bhd has confirmed that it is partnering with KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd to develop a 58 MW waste-to-energy (WTE) plant in Rawang, Selangor, Malaysia. The Sultan Idris Shah Green Energy Plant is expected to be built on a 245-acre site in Rawang and will use municipal waste from six areas to generate electricity. The plant is expected to be able to handle 2,400 tonnes of waste per day. Additionally, waste materials from the plant, such as fly ash and bottom ash, will be used to produce cement.
The plant is being developed by YTL Power International and KDEB Waste Management as part of a joint venture. Aurecon Lestari Sdn Bhd has been selected to handle the environmental and social impact assessments for the project.
The Sultan Idris Shah Green Energy Plant is expected to be a significant step towards creating a sustainable and environmentally friendly waste management system in Malaysia. The project will also generate employment opportunities and boost the local economy.
