East Rockingham Waste to Energy and Materials Recovery Facility (Assessment No. 1910)

The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) invites people to make a submission on this proposal. Both electronic and hard copy submissions are most welcome.

 

New Energy Corporation Pty Ltd (New Energy) proposes to construct and operate an 18 megawatt gas fired power station to supply additional power to the South West Interconnected System. The power station will be fired by syngas which is produced by the gasification of carbonaceous waste diverted from landfill. Waste accepted on the site will be sorted to remove incompatible wastes and to recover some recyclables. 

 

The PER is available for a public review period of six [6] weeks from 11 November 2013 closing on 23 December 2013.

 

Comments from government agencies and from the public will help the EPA to prepare an assessment report in which it will make recommendations to government.
