In October, Suez said it signed an agreement to invest 300 million euro ($369.8 million) in the construction of a waste-to-energy facility in Belgrade in consortium with Environment Investments Limited, a subsidiary of Japan's Itochu.
The project will allow the Belgrade city government to close and remediate the Vinca landfill and generate over 80 MW of renewable heat and electricity, Suez said back then.
Belgrade city government said in July that a consortium of Suez and Itochu was the only bidder in a tender for a public-private partnership for the processing of urban waste in Vinca. The tender was organised with the support of International Finance Corporation (IFC).
