The Waste-to-Energy Facility is meant to process waste that cannot be easily recycled.
Based on the moving grate technology, this facility will be treating 40% of non-recyclable waste generated in Malta diverting it away from landfill disposal.
Energy in the form of electricity and heat will also be generated in the process. Indeed, the plant will generate 126GWh annually to the grid. This in addition to the electrical output expected from the new organic processing plant that will also produce compost for agricultural uses.
With a capacity of 192,000 tonnes annually, this €185 million investment is expected to be commissioned in December 2026.
