Electricity Generation
In 2020, with funding from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), a new direction was launched – the production of biogas with subsequent electricity generation, with a capacity of 5.5 MW/hour. The biogas complex converts production waste into electricity.
The project cost is €23 million, of which €15 million is financed by the EBRD and the Clean Investment Fund (CIF).
