Renewable Waste-to-Energy & Recycling Facility
Renewable Waste-to-Energy Works for Frederick
A new regional waste-to-energy facility in Frederick will generate 45 megawatts of safe, clean renewable energy.
.....That's enough energy to power 45,000 homes and offset the use of 500,000 barrels of oil or 130,000 tons of coal every year.
THE PROJECT
Construction on the Frederick/Carroll County Renewable Waste-to-Energy (WTE) Facility in Frederick is scheduled to begin in 2013. Developed by the Northeast Maryland Waste Disposal Authority (NEA), the facility will be a long-term, stable economic solution for the waste disposal and renewable energy needs of Frederick County. NEA will develop the facility with partners Wheelabrator Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Waste Management; Whiting-Turner, Hitachi Zosen Inova USA and Burns and Roe Enterprises.
The project is expected to create hundreds of jobs during construction and many opportunities for Frederick County contractors, local businesses and individuals.
