Reppie Facility

 The Reppie WtE facility-started full construction in September of 2014 and currently (September 2015) has completed over 65% of total project activity and 30% of local activity. Reppie Waste-to-Energy facility, when completed will process over 1,400tons of waste every day and produce over 185,000,000KWh of electricity to the Ethiopian national grid.

Development, Design and Construction of the project is conducted by Cambridge Industries Ltd (CIL) and its partner China National Electric Engineering Co (CNEEC).

Waste-to-Energy

Waste-to-energy uses trash as a fuel for power generation. Similar to other power plants (just using trash rather than other fuels like coal, oil, or natural gas), the fuel is burned in an environmentally sustainable manner, in a combustion chamber to heat tubes of water in boiler walls. The water is heated until it turns into steam, which is then used to drive a turbine generator that produces electricity.
