In addition to landfill gas generation, Green Power EMC obtains green power from renewable power facilities all over the state, including low-impact hydroelectric, biomass from wood waste and solar power.ĮMCs that own Green Power EMC serve more than 4.1 million Georgia residents.
It was created by Georgia’s EMCs in 2001 and has been selling green energy since 2003. Green Power EMC was the first green energy provider in the state. This project uses these waste emissions to generate useful energy for about 2000 Georgia homes and is equivalent to about 67,000 solar panels. Green Power EMC President & CEO Jeff Pratt said the methane gas created by decomposing landfills is more than 20 times more harmful to our atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Energy Services Group produces electricity for Green Power EMC by using the waste methane as fuel in generating units. The Pecan Row Landfill is owned and operated by Advanced Energy, which sells waste methane to the project owner, Energy Services Group. Green Power EMC has contracted with Energy Systems Group to purchase the full energy output of the Pecan Row facility - about 4.8 MW of total generation - and now has a green generating capability of about 32 MW.
A ribbon cutting ceremony today officially opened the nearby Pecan Row landfill gas generating facility, which will produce more than 4 MW of power for Green Power EMC, a green energy cooperative owned by 38 Electric Membership Corp.s (EMC) in Georgia.
