Greater Chennai Corporation has called tenders to set up a WTE plant near Kodungaiyur dumpyard. The plant will produce 21 megawatts of electricity a day. The waste will burn in the plant, and the thermal energy will rotate turbines to produce electricity. While filters and protective mechanisms to prevent fly ash and pollutant emissions have been planned, examples from Delhi and Ghazipur tell otherwise. The pollution control board had fined the WTE plants in Delhi multiple times for violating rules, he said.
