Electricity generation from waste at the Aminbazar landfill in Baliarpur, Savar, is expected to begin in November 2028, State Minister for Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Mir Shahe Alam said yesterday (1 July).
Speaking to reporters after inspecting operations at the landfill, Shahe Alam said the project had already received environmental clearance from the Department of Environment and all necessary preparations had been completed to begin power generation as scheduled.
He said the government would not have to invest in the project, as the entire waste-to-energy initiative would be financed by the foreign company implementing it.
State Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Sheikh Faridul Islam, Dhaka North City Corporation Administrator Shafiqul Islam Khan and other officials were present during the inspection.
