Project overview
2 MW of onsite power from green waste.
The first of several plants planned for Darwin, turning green waste into electricity and carbon removal as power prices rise.
- The challenge
- The Darwin region saw a fixed 20% electricity price increase in 2026, while the Darwin landfill is nearing end of life with under-utilised green waste.
- What CNP delivers
- A CNP-owned 2 MW plant turning local green waste — previously sent to landfill — into electricity and carbon credits. The first of several plants planned for Darwin to tackle green waste and rising energy prices.
