  1. \r\nHickory Ridge Landfill in Conley, GA, except that one doesn’t seem\r\nto involve Green Power EMC.\r\nErin Voegele wrote for Biomass Magazine, 11 Feb 2009.\r\n\r\nGlobal Energy announces Georgia landfill gas project<\/a>\r\n
    \r\nGlobal Energy Systems, a subsidiary of the diversified renewable energy\r\ncompany Global Energy Holdings Group Inc., recently announced it has\r\nacquired the right to purchase landfill gas produced at the Conley,\r\nGa.-based Hickory Ridge landfill, which is owned and operated by Republic\r\nServices Inc.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n
  2. \r\nTaylor County Landfill, Mauk, GA, may be the location of both the first and\r\nsecond Green Power EMC gas to electricity projects.\r\nVeolia PR carried by Business Wire 27 June 2012,\r\n\r\nGeorgia’s Largest Landfill Gas to Electricity Project Opens in Taylor County<\/a>\r\n
    \r\n“Green Power EMC is excited to continue our partnership with\r\nEDI at the Taylor County Landfill,” stated Jeff Pratt,\r\nPresident of Green Power EMC. “Our first energy purchase began\r\nin 2003 at the Taylor County Landfill resulting in the entry of\r\nGeorgia’s cooperatives into the renewable energy market. This 4 MW\r\nexpansion brings Green Power EMC’s portfolio of renewables to over\r\n28 MWs. Green Power EMC is actively pursuing successful approaches\r\nto increasing the supply of renewable energy for Georgia’s EMC\r\nmembers.”\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\nAh, yes, Green Power EMC’s own Report Card<\/a> identifies\r\n
    \r\nA landfill methane gas to electric generating station located at Charing\r\nin Taylor County, Georgia. The landfill owner\/operator is Allied Waste\r\nManagement. Initial generating capacity is 4.0 megawatts. Online since\r\nOctober 2003.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
