Uzice, Jan. 06, 2010, (Serbia Today) - The City Assembly of Užice has recently approved development of an electric power plant that will be fueled by burning waste at the nearby regional sanitary landfill Duboko. "Electric Power Company of Serbia" (EPS) will be a partner with the City in the innovative project. Formal approval by the City was preceded by a Memorandum of Understanding signed in October 2009, by the Minister of Energy Petar Škundric, by the Mayor of Užice Jovan Marković, and by the CEO of EPS, Dragomir Marković,
Disposal and burning of about 250 tons of public waste daily from Užice and eight surrounding municipalities is expected to produce between 7 to 10 megawatts of electricity. Construction of the power plant should cost between 30 and 60m EURs.
Minister Škundric has said that the waste burning power plant would not be a “danger to the environment or people's health". The product of the burning process will be a small quantity of carbon-dioxide and solid matter that will later be used for construction of roads. He also pointed out that foreign investors were interested in the project so that the investment would not be a big financial burden for the City and EPS.
