The utilization of the waste to energy technology was studied for Peshawar city, the data was compiled from the authentic data base of Municipal Corporation Peshawar. It includes the data from twelve different regions of Peshawar city. It is estimated that the flammable share of MSW of Peshawar city in tons will be 544.38 tons. Hence a power of 18.5 MW can be generated from MSW of Peshawar City by utilization of Plasma Arc Gasification Technique. It’s suggested that 18.5MW Power Plant will generate electricity @ 9 ₵/ KWh which is less as compare to current national average rate.
