GIG entered into a partnership arrangement with Covanta Holding Corporation to jointly develop, fund and own new waste-to-energy projects in the UK and Ireland. GIG has underscored its commitment to the partnership by agreeing to invest EUR136 million in a 50 per cent stake in Covanta’s newly operational Dublin Waste-to-Energy Facility. Covanta and GIG have identified up to six projects across the UK for potential inclusion in the partnership. Once realised, these projects are expected to treat approximately 2 million tonnes of residual waste per annum.
