Flint Energies supports
methane gas project
Houston County (Georgia) and Flint
Energies have agreed to turn methane
gas at the Houston County Landfill
into electric power. The co-op says the
project will produce benefits for county
citizens, for Flint’s member-consumers
and for the overall environment. Flint
will buy gas from the county and power
generation from PowerSecure
International Inc., which will install,
own and operate the power generation
plant facilities.
Flint members will gain access to 3.2
megawatts of “green power” and create
a new revenue stream from the landfill.
“Renewable ‘green energy’ is an
important part of the future of power
generation for Flint Energies
members,” says co-op CEO Bob Ray.
