They intend to launch the smoke incinerator after the summer
- This summer, political representatives of the General Boards of Gipuzkoa announced in a visit to the Zubieta incinerator that they want to launch the treatment plant "after the summer". Since November last year it has been officially declared "under testing", but with frequent humaredes. As we saw this Sunday (30 August).

As he explained, "after the summer" is when the Zubieta incinerator is to be set up. The forecast made during this summer by the promoters of this proyecto.Segun has been reported by the Gipuzkoa Waste Consortium (GHK), "after the summer", the timetable is scheduled for September to launch the waste incineration infrastructure at 100%. Remember that the incinerator has been in testing since last November. However, as we have seen this Sunday (30 August), humaredes are often produced.
Contractual guarantees on the part of the GHK only remain to be verified
Throughout this testing phase, which began at the end of November, the Zubieta incinerator has seen smoke in many months. The Zubieta incinerator, according to the Gipuzkoa Waste Consortium (GHK), is in the "officially" testing phase and has an 80% deployment. "It only remains for the GHK to check the contractual guarantees to verify that the installation is in accordance with the terms of service agreed and approved with the concessionaire," the Consortium said on 17 June. This process, which is expected to last between 10 and 12 years, will be implemented at 100% once it is completed. With the calendar in hand, the Zubieta incinerator, which is already in operation, could be switched on completely by September.
