Epirus Waste Treatment Plant turns Epirus into a Green Region

The Municipal Solid Waste Treatment Plant of Epirus Region, which commenced commercial operation in March 2019, is one of Europe’s most modern waste treatment plants.

The project was implemented via the PPP (Private Public Partnership) scheme, with the Private Partnership Body (PPB) being Epirus Aeiforiki, a member of TERNA ENERGY Group, with the valuable contribution of the Special PPP Secretariat and the Epirus Region. The project was completed with an unprecedented licensing and manufacturing time horizon (of only 18 months) .

• From the waste that the plant processes:
• At least 17,000 tons of useful materials are recycled each year, contributing to the achievement of national recycling targets
• Generates 10,800 kW of Green Energy each year, able to meet the needs of 3,000 families while avoiding 12,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions
• 25,000 tonnes of compost is produced per year
• The project definitively resolves the waste management issue of the Epirus Region for the next 25 years, as it can be easily adapted to the future European Directives as well as the Greek legislation.
• Has already received its first award as a project of the year 2018
• The total investment amounted to € 52.6 million
