GUANGZHOU: Construction is expected to start by the end of the year on a massive below-ground garbage incinerator plant that will also generate electricity for Guangzhou, the capital of South China's Guangdong Province.

At a cost of 970 million yuan ($125 million), the Likeng Garbage Incineration Power Plant will be able to incinerate more than 2,000 tons of domestic waste per day, almost one fifth of the city's total.

It will be also capable of generating 200 million kWh of electricity a year. The plant will be put into production by June 2009.
