Puebla construction group proposes 10-billion-peso waste-to-energy plant
The construction industry group in Puebla proposed a waste-to-energy plant to help manage the state's urban waste.
The project is estimated to cost 10 billion pesos and could generate up to 60 megawatts of electricity on average.
The group says the plant could provide steady electricity around the clock at competitive prices.
It presents the proposal as a way to turn waste into energy, infrastructure and jobs for construction firms.
The project would rely on private investment, though the state government could be interested.
No approval or construction timetable is given, so the proposal's next steps remain unclear.
