The Yangon City Development Committee
(YCDC) said most of the companies are from Thailand, Singapore, Japan
and Republic of Korea.
The YCDC issued a call for bids to
produce renewable energy from daily trash, by using methane gas and
compressed natural gas (CNG) to produce electricity.
Yangon has 33 townships that generate
over 1,500 tonnes of daily trash. Of 1,500 tonnes, about 800 tonnes are
dumped in Htain Pin waste pit, Hlaingtharyar Township and the rest are
discarded at Htar Wai Chaung waste pit in North Dagon Township.
“Foreign companies are interested, and
joint venture companies have also inquired about it. They have to
calculate the amount of investment. We will help distribute the
necessary statistics,” said Aung Myint Maw, division head of Pollution
Control and Cleansing Department of YCDC.
“After their analysis is done, they have
to submit the final proposal. We will choose the company who will give
us better rental fees and the highest share of profit,” he said.
The project will operate under a
build-operate-transfer scheme. A total of 80 acres of Htain Pin and 90
acres of Htar Wai Chaung are available for the project.
The deadline for the submission of
proposals is on February 28. Companies must submit their profile, office
address, the amount of investment, and the ratio of the dividends, and
the share of the profit for the project.
