What do I need to know about the Solid Waste Authority’s Renewable Energy Facility 2?

Renewable Energy Facility 2 is the most advanced, efficient, cleanest and greenest waste-to-energy power plant in the world. While the facility produces enough clean renewable electricity to power approximately 60,000 homes each year, the primary purpose of the facility is to act as a waste disposal tool that reduces the volume of waste to be disposed of in the landfill.
