Companies with better WtE projects could be paid a higher FiT

Waste-to-energy (WtE) projects can be paid a premium above the minimum feed-in-tariff (FiT) rate set by the government, depending on how the waste or recycling center produces the energy,Electricity Minister Mohamed Shaker tells Al Shorouk. The more advanced the technology used by the company, the higher it will be paid for the energy used Shakr said. The Ismail Cabinet had agreed in May to set a minimum WtE feed-in tariff of EGP 1.40 per kWh, with the Electricity Ministry covering EGP 1.03 per kWh.
