KOCHI: Thrikkakara Municipality got its second biowaste electricity generation plant on Friday.The plant installed in the town shopping complex was inaugurated by Benny Behnan, MLA while municipal chairman P I Muhammad Ali presided over the function.The plant was completed with the assistance of Biotech, Trivandrum. The cost of the project is Rs 16.80 lakh.The plant can treat 500 kg bio waste and waste water and also could generate electricity that could be used for lighting 50 CF Lamps installed in the shopping complex and nearby areas.
