The estimated plant capacity is 250,000 tons of residual waste annually, collected from the southeastern districts of the city, disposal of which gives up to 407 GWh/year district heating for around 50,000 households + 68 GWh/year electricity for around 25,000 households.
Wien Energie GmbH, owner of the plant, carries out only operational management, the actual operator of the plant is Wiener Kommunal-Umweltschutzprojektgesellschaft m.b.H.
A part of the plant complex is a biogas production unit, with the help of which up to 22,000 tons of biogenic waste are processed annually (10,000 tons from organic waste bins in the inner-city and 12,000 tons of leftover food from canteen kitchens and restaurants, market waste and stored food.) Expansion of the biogas plant's capacity to 34,000 tons is planned.
