Energo Zelena builds animal waste management factory in Inđija - project worth 22m EUR

Energo Zelena, the company that deals with ecological management of animal waste, and the municipality of Inđija with the Directorate for Construction have signed the contract worth 22m EUR. According to Paul Descender, the President of the Administrative Board of Electrawinds, in the possession of which is Serbian company Energo Zelena, says that that is the beginning of the project that will be jointly implemented by Belgian and Serbian companies.

- The works will be commenced in September 2010 and I hope that the unit will be put in operation one year later. The investment is worth 22m EUR and we expect that, once the full capacity of production is reached, about 100 people will be employed - Descender said after the contract was signed.

This is the first investment by the Belgian company in Serbia, which is the biggest private company that deals with renewable energy sources in Belgium. The President of the Administrative Board of Electrawinds says that there are many reasons why this company decided to invest in Inđija. According to him, two of the reasons are crucial for the arrival in Inđija. The first reason is exceptional location, while the second is good cooperation with local self-government.

- The factory that should be built will be situated in the northeast work zone, next to the highway. The contract defines the location and size of the land (2.5 ha). The municipality of Inđija has taken over the obligation to organize the land within next 90 days, which should than be bought by this company, after which the construction works can commence - said Uroš Ćuruvija, the Director of the Directorate for Construction.

According to Assistant Mayor Petar Filipović, this investment is of exceptional importance to the municipality of Inđija.

- Total of 22m EUR will be invested in the northeast work zone and what is even more important is that the factory will employ 100 people by the end of the construction. Another significant thing is that the factory will be connected to our landfill, so that the infrastructure will be built together with the company - said Petar Filipović.
