: Malaysia’s largest renewable energy power plant at Bukit Tagar Enviro Park , Hulu Selangor, Selangor with a capacity of 12 megawatts has commenced operations.
BTEP can convert methane gas from solid waste at the landfill into renewable energy, channelling approximately 339 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to the national grid. “This energy production can reduce 2.7 million tonnes of carbon under the Clean Development Mechanism, equivalent to planting 43.6 million trees over ten years, reducing the consumption of 296 million litres of petrol and reducing 570,000 driven vehicles in a year,” he said in a statement in conjunction with his visit to BTEP to officiate the power plant today.
Nga said the initiative is in line with the country’s goal of achieving 40 per cent renewable energy contribution to national power generation by 2035, of which solid waste is one of the contributors to the goal through WtE technology.
