The 10 megawatt power station will be operated by Fairway Waste Management (Private) Limited, a subsidiary of the Fairway Holdings. It will use 500 metric tons (1,100,000 lb) of waste, with the generated power sold to the state-owned Ceylon Electricity Board at a rate of Rs. 37.10 per KWh generated. The residual bottom ash from the process will be used for road construction and other uses, while the unusable fly ash (amounting to 2%) will be disposed of at predesignated locations.^[3]
