KMC and AEPC have signed a memorandum of understanding to restore the Teku waste-to-energy facility, which has been inactive for years. The project aims to resume operations within two months with funding from the Mini-Grid Energy Access Programme, facilitated by the World Bank.
The plant, originally built with EU assistance, will benefit from AEPC's expertise in renewable energy, which includes support for municipal waste-to-energy projects since 2014. The MoU outlines responsibilities for both parties regarding reconstruction and long-term management.
A project proposal for USD 48 million is pending approval to submit to the Green Climate Fund. These initiatives are expected to enhance biodegradable waste management and support the circular economy in urban areas.
