CEBU, Philippines – Cebu City Mayor Mike Rama signed a joint venture agreement with New Sky Energy Inc. for a waste-to-energy facility on Thursday, September 22.
“We are still looking at different lots at different areas [for the facility],” Razilee Ligaray, legal counsel of New Sky Energy Incorporated said in a press conference on Thursday, September 22. The city councilor said NSEI’s proposal would provide electricity for 40,000 households, and provide the city an estimated P24 million per year in gross power sales revenues.
“Singapore has five WTEs, Japan has a thousand WTE facilities. Are we trying to say that they are also polluting their own country by using these WTEs?” Garganera countered at the press conference.
