The 2010 ERC Directory of Waste-to-Energy Plants provides current information about the waste-to-energy sector in the United States.

In the past three years, three facilities have completed construction on expansion units, and more expansions are both planned and under construction.

Several communities are also in the process of developing greenfield waste-to-energy facilities. The development of new capacity reflects the desire of local governments to exercise control of solid waste decisions, rather than be at the mercy of economic fluctuations of distant landfills. In addition, energy generation in densely populated areas could greatly benefit communities that struggle with transmission congestion.
