In Pakistan roughly more than 20 million tons of municipal solid waste is generated with annual growth rate of 2.4 percent. All major cities i.e. Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta are facing enormous challenges in tackling the problem of urban waste.
However the tariff for Municipal Solid Waste based electricity received cold response from the investors Only one company had accepted levelised tariff for generation of Municipal Solid Waste based electricity in one city.
Now the federal government has itself decided to undertake the initiative and set up 100 to120 MW solid waste power plant in Karachi.
