Veolia Completes Expansion of Metro Vancouver Waste-to-Energy Facility

Veolia has completed a major expansion of its Metro Vancouver waste-to-energy facility, increasing capacity by 35%. The expanded facility now processes over 385,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste annually, converting it into electricity that powers approximately 22,000 homes and providing district heating to nearby developments. The expansion included installation of advanced emissions monitoring systems and optimization of combustion efficiency. The project demonstrates the growing trend of municipalities expanding waste-to-energy infrastructure to meet rising waste volumes while reducing landfill dependency.
