Kwinana, Perth, Australia See on Google Maps
ACCIONA is responsible for the 25-year construction, operation, and maintenance of the Kwinana plant in Perth, Western Australia. It will be the first commercial-scale thermal waste-to-energy facility built in Australia.

The Kwinana project will provide sustainable energy to local homes and businesses while diverting approximately 25% of Perth's waste from landfill.

It will divert up to 460,000 tonnes of waste per annum from landfill and deliver 38 megawatts of baseload power to the Western Power grid.

The facility will divert up to 460,000 tonnes of waste per annum from landfill and deliver 38 megawatts of baseload power to the Western Power grid, sufficient to power more than 50,000 households.

Diverting this waste from landfill will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 400,000 tonnes per year, equivalent to taking 85,000 cars off Perth’s roads.

Until date, this project has created more than 3,543 jobs and will create 50 permanent jobs for the life of the facility’s operations (25 years).

Local councils, including Rivers Regional Council members, Resource Recovery Group members and the City of Kwinana have agreed to provide waste to the Kwinana Waste-to-Energy facility.
