The Eastern Creek Renewable Power Project features four 1MW generators which harness landfill gas, creating renewable and dispatchable energy, all while helping abate emissions from the site and powering the equivalent of 7,000 homes per year.
The project builds on $5 million in landfill gas infrastructure previously installed and marks a significant milestone in LGI’s ongoing collaboration with BINGO Industries. The four-megawatt power station—operational from May 2025 —supplies reliable, renewable power (24/7) behind the metre to the Eastern Creek site and BINGO Industry’s state wide network of transfer stations.
Surplus energy is exported to the National Electricity Market to supporting the broader local grid.
The $18.5 million deal between BINGO Industries and LGI has set a new benchmark for the treatment of toxic landfill biogas and the benefits this can bring to local communities.
These are exciting times that also represent LGI’s first power generation project with a private-sector waste management company.

BINGO Industries’ partnership with LGI underscores our unwavering commitment to sustainability, safety, and innovation. The 4MW power generation plant at our Eastern Creek Ecology Park is a testament to our dedication to driving positive environmental impact and fostering thriving communities.
We’ve been honoured to contribute to this groundbreaking project from inception to delivery, and we’re excited to continue pushing the boundaries for a Waste Free Australia.
– Kevin Gluskie, CEO, BINGO Industries
LGI is proud to reach this exciting milestone of electricity generation at Eastern Creek with BINGO Industries. This partnership is a demonstration of how we can unlock the full potential of biogas as a clean, renewable energy source that supports both environmental sustainability and economic resilience.
I am incredibly proud of what our team has been able to accomplish in such a short period of time, as we look forward to exploring more opportunities with BINGO Industries.
Commissioning the power station in May 2025 is a key part of LGI’s long term partnership with BINGO Industries, enabling renewable energy to support site
operations.
LGI’s growing portfolio now includes nine renewable energy generation sites, dispatching over 140GWh of electricity to the distribution network each year. This is renewable electricity on demand, when and where it’s needed.
