| Project Detail |
OBJECTIVE
To decrease the amount of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) destined for landfill and to increase the production of renewable electricity.
DESCRIPTION
The Project involves financing the construction of a Waste to Energy Generation (WtE) facility, developed by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM). The WtE facility is located about 20 km north of Istanbul in the Eyüp district. It would be the largest facility in Europe with an annual capacity of 1 million tons (about 15% of Istanbul’s waste), generating 630 GWh of net electricity sufficient for 400,000 households.
The Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract was awarded to Hitachi Zosen Inova – Makyol Insaat Sanayi Turizm ve Ticaret A.S. Joint Venture (HZI-Makyol). The EPC contractor will also operate the WtE for one year before transferring to ISTAC. As of July 2021, 98% of construction works have been completed. |
