WtE plant on São Miguel Island, Azores
                We’re proud to announce the successful completion of a new waste-to-energy plant on São Miguel Island, Azores - a project that demanded precision, resilience, and deep collaboration.
This facility marks a major milestone in the region’s energy and environmental strategy, reducing landfill dependency and converting local waste into reliable power, electrical energy enough to power 9,000 homes.
Building in the middle of the Atlantic brought lots of challenges:
- Logistics & maritime transport: Every shipment had to be precisely coordinated across long distances with limited transport windows.
- Cranes & heavy equipment availability: On-island resources were scarce, demanding efficient scheduling and external mobilization.
- Non-standard materials & components: Custom solutions and agile sourcing were key to progress.
- Specialized suppliers: Expertise had to be brought in from afar to meet high technical standards.
- Marine technical and regulatory constraints: Corrosive conditions, environmental safeguards, and coastal compliance shaped every design and execution choice.
This project stands as a clear example of what’s possible when innovation, engineering, and commitment align.
A huge congratulations to our teams and partners who helped bring this complex vision to life — and to the island community it now supports with clean, reliable energy.
