Abstract	The management of municipal solid waste has emerged as a key issue in contemporary city planning. The amount of solid garbage generated on a daily basis is forcing policymakers to implement sustainable waste management techniques. Recycling and the secure elimination of dangerous waste materials with a reasonable calorific value are both included in waste management. Considering the aforementioned fact, an attempt is made to evaluate the potential of MSW generated in Agartala city for the generation of electricity. In this study, we have analyzed two different methods to recover energy from waste such as Thermal Power-plant and Biogas Power-plant. Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) collects 250 MT of waste per day from different sources. In this study it is seen that 54.5 MT (22% of total waste) of waste can be used for thermal power-plant from which 1.4 MW energy can be produced. But 78% of waste is still left which can also be utilized them in Biogas power plant to produce energy.
