Saudi Arabia: Three-year renewable license to conduct a feasibility study for a waste-to-energy (WTE) facility

In July 2006, the U.S.-based International Power Group (IPWG) was granted a three-year renewable license to conduct a feasibility study for a waste-to-energy (WTE) facility in the southwestern city of Jizan . Following the study, a US$300-million plant was commissioned, and is expected to come online in December 2008.

According to IPWG, the WTE modules combust up to 180 tons of solid and hazardous waste, while generating 6 MW of electricity and up to 250,000 gallons of distilled water per day.
