The Soc Son waste-to-energy (WTE) plant, located at the Nam Son Waste Treatment Complex in Hanoi, was connected to the national grid on July 25.

Imagine if Hanoi had no place to bury its garbage. How would the huge amount of waste collected every day be handled? Such questions, however, will no longer be a concern, as a plant generating electricity from waste, with a capacity of 4,000 tons a day, will begin operations in the capital in September.

The deadline for completion of the Thien Y waste-to-power plant, the biggest of its kind in Hanoi, will be postponed from its original date as outbreaks of COVID-19 in the capital and the northern province of Hai Duong affected construction work.

Big heaps of waste that have appeared beside roads in Hanoi’s inner city districts for the last three days are expected to be cleared up by Friday, as people living around the Nam Son landfill agreed to stop blocking the way to the city’s biggest dump.

Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Chung has ordered authorities of Soc Son district to accelerate land clearance and compensation for residents affected by the Nam Son Waste Treatment Complex or Nam Son dumping ground.

A waste treatment plant capable of generating electricity will be built in Nam Son waste treatment complex in Hanoi’s suburban Soc Son district.

The first industrial waste power generation plant in Vietnam was inaugurated and officially put into operation at the Nam Son Waste Treatment Complex in the Hanoi outlying district of Soc Son, Hanoi, on April 24.
