\r\nValdosta, Ga. (April 11, 2013) — Representatives from\r\n\r\nAdvanced Disposal<\/a>,\r\n\r\nGreen Power EMC<\/a> and\r\n\r\nEnergy Systems Group<\/a> (ESG) will hold an informational\r\nsession about the Pecan Row Landfill Gas Facility on April 15 at 8:30 a.m. EST\r\nat the\r\n\r\nColquitt EMC<\/a> Valdosta District Office, located at 273 Norman Drive.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nThe cover page seems to be condensed from\r\nESG’s Pecan Row Landfill Gas Facility flash flyer<\/a>.\r\nThat ESG flyer also quotes Gerald Allen, Landfill Vice President , Advanced Disposal, and Jeff Pratt, President of Green Power EMC, who said this is Green Power\r\nEMC’s third landfill energy project.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

The rest past the paragraph above quoted seems to be verbatim from\r\n\r\n\"Meeting<\/a>\r\n\r\nESG PR of 27 February 2013,\r\n\r\nAdvanced Disposal and Energy Systems Group Transform Georgia Waste Into Fuel<\/a>,\r\nreproduced below. -jsq\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Valdosta, Ga. – Advanced Disposal Services, Inc. has partnered\r\nwith Energy Systems Group (ESG), a wholly owned subsidiary of Vectren\r\nCorporation (NYSE: VVC) and a leading energy services provider, to\r\ndevelop a landfill gas facility at the Pecan Row Landfill in Valdosta,\r\nGeorgia. ESG will design, build, own, and operate the facility, which\r\nwill produce power by capturing landfill gas emitted from decomposing\r\ntrash and using it as a fuel source to power generators. This renewable\r\nenergy facility will qualify for a Federal investment tax credit and\r\nis expected to generate 4.8 megawatts (MW) or enough energy to power\r\napproximately 2,000 homes.<\/p>\r\n

By\r\ncapturing these landfill gases, this sustainable project is helping\r\nprovide environmental benefits equivalent to the removal of emissions\r\nfrom more than 34,000 cars per year or the planting of about 38,000\r\nacres of forest annually.<\/p>\r\n

The power produced will be purchased by Green Power EMC, via a\r\nlong term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Green Power is a non-profit\r\ncorporation comprised of 38 of Georgia’s member- owned electric\r\ncooperatives. Green Power EMC’s mission is to facilitate procurement\r\nand marketing of electricity from renewable sources in Georgia and make\r\nit available to its member cooperatives to complement their wholesale\r\npower portfolio.<\/p>\r\n

“We’ve been fortunate\r\nto find great partners like Advanced Disposal and Green Power EMC to\r\nhelp bring innovative projects like this to fruition,” said\r\nGreg Collins, ESG president. He added, “ESG is proud to make\r\nthis significant investment in the local community and to enhance\r\nthe environment by converting waste into a power resource.”\r\n“The Pecan Row project is ESG’s third landfill gas\r\nproject in Georgia, and our sixth in the United States,”\r\nCollins stated. “ESG continues to develop its renewable energy\r\nportfolio with innovative biogas projects such as anaerobic digesters\r\nand compressed natural gas fueling stations.”<\/p>\r\n

“Being able to convert our landfill\r\ngas into reusable energy is a win for everyone: the environment, the\r\nenergy users and the landfill. This landfill gas resource will provide\r\na long term source of green renewable electricity for the citizens\r\nof South Georgia and fosters a collaborative partnership among key\r\nstakeholders in the field of electricity,” stated Gerald Allen,\r\nAdvanced Disposal’s Landfill Vice President. “We’re\r\nin the business of a clean and green environment and successful\r\nprojects such as this ESG partnership help us reach our sustainability\r\ngoals everyday.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\"ESG<\/a>\r\n“Green Power EMC is excited to continue our\r\npartnership with ESG at the Pecan Row county landfill,” states\r\nJeff Pratt, President of Green Power EMC. He continues “this is\r\nthe third landfill in our renewable energy portfolio bringing Green\r\nPower’s portfolio of renewables to over 32 MWs.” Pratt\r\nstates “Green Power EMC is actively pursuing efficient approaches\r\nto increasing the supply of renewable energy to Georgia’s\r\nEMC members.”<\/p>\r\n
