Local authorities announced that the third phase of the East Domestic Waste Incineration Power Plant is on track to begin delivering power in the first half of 2023.

Construction on the facility is 90 percent complete, with hydraulic testing set to begin for the plant's incinerator.

The incineration power plant will be able to process more than 5,800 tons of household waste per day.

City officials said that the combination of the new plant and the city's current kitchen waste treatment plant and food waste treatment plant will provide sufficient capacity to deal with Xiamen's predicted increase in garbage over the next five years.
