CEBU – The Cebu Provincial Government awarded the Waste-To-Energy project to a consortium - Waste Management Incorporated which is a local company; and Harvest Waste B.V., a company based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Governor Gwen Garcia who chairs the Economic Enterprise Council (EEC) signed the Notice of Award, which was received by Atty. Javier Flores who represented the consortium, on Monday November 21. Also present were Generoso Dungo and Harvest Waste B.V. Regional Director Luuk Rietvelt.
The consortium's proposal to undertake the WTE Project was submitted to the Province's EEC last year and was subjected to a Swiss challenge. EEC decided to award the project after it went through the proper process and no challengers came forward.
The WTE technology that Gov. Garcia's administration has envisioned turns waste into electricity in a controlled manner which helps prevent filling up landfills and avoid further emission of carbon dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gases emitted by waste landfills.
The next step will be to negotiate on the details of the contract between the Cebu Provincial Government and the consortium scheduled for their next meeting on December 5. (EEV)
