Ji'an Project will be invested and constructed in a PPP (Public-Private Partnership) model for a concession period of 30 years. The project is designed to have a daily household waste treatment capacity of 1,200 tonnes, and is expected to generate green electricity of approximately 129,000,000 kWh annually.

Everbright International will develop the project into a demonstration ecological project as requested by the People's Government of Jiangxi Province. By adhering to its operating philosophy of 'Integrity, Pragmatism, Efficiency and Innovation', the Group will make Ji'an Project a quality, exemplary and safe project, setting a good example in Jiangxi Province as part of the 'Beautiful China' initiative.
