The first 1.93 megawatts were produced last March 16 of which 1.2 MW for the national power grid and the remaining serving the own operation of the plant. At present, the Nedo Factory fully meets the criteria of the manufacturer and the current Vietnamese environment standards.
Speaking at the ceremony, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Doan Toan emphasized: "This is not only the first project in Vietnam and the region, transforming waste into electricity but also symbolizing friendship between Vietnam and Japan. It is one of the important steps in the effort to protect the environment and recycle waste for industrial development purposes in Hanoi." It is expected that the plant will be completely transferred to Urenco, the Hanoi Urban Environment company, in October.
