The facility is planned for land leased from RGDC within the Parkes Special Activation Precinct.
The project is being led by Tribe, in consortium with Tadweer Group and HiQ, and reference technology from Kanadevia Inova.
The proposed facility will utilise established technology to convert non-recyclable residual waste into electricity. It is expected to divert approximately 600,000 tonnes of waste from landfill annually and generate around 60 megawatts of electricity, equivalent to powering 80,000 homes. The project is expected to support job creation during both construction and operations.
Parkes Energy Recovery will now proceed with detailed planning, including technical and environmental assessments, as well as engagement with the local community. All necessary approvals will be sought through the appropriate regulatory pathways, including consultation with the NSW Environment Protection Authority and the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure.
As part of the early engagement process, a series of community drop-in sessions will be held to provide information and respond to questions about the proposed development.
