Eastern Creek. More power to the grid

WSN Environmental Solutions and joint venture partner, LMS Generation, have commissioned another engine, at the Eastern Creek waste and recycling centre, raising its capacity in converting waste to electricity to 7000 homes. The project now has seven 1.1-megawatt (MW) engines to export renewable energy to the NSW grid. The Eastern Creek plant began operating with five engines in May 2008. More are expected by 2014.
