The city has the potential of generating around 70-80 MW electricity on a daily basis through waste. GHMC is planning to generate around 100 MW electricity by installing more such power plants.

The Bibinagar plant will generate around 12 MW electricity, while the second plant with the capacity of 19 MW will come up at Jawahar Nagar. GHMC is also planning to install two-three more power plants to achieve the target of generating 100 MW electricity using garbage in the next three years.
