Saint John Energy has agreed to accept the excess output from a 1,060 kW generator to be installed at Fundy Regional Solid Waste's Crane Mountain site. By using the methane gas collected from the decaying waste to power a generator, a clean renewable source of electricity is available. This generator is expected to be operational by April 2010 and is capable of supplying all of Fundy Regional Solid Waste's site power requirements with the excess energy being delivered to Saint John Energy.

 

 

Once fully operational, it is expected that approximately a net 5,000,000 kWHs will be exported to Saint John Energy.

 

We have worked with the Fundy Regional Solid Waste Commission, the Department of Energy and NB Power on this project since early in 2009 and are very pleased to see it receive the provincial funding required to make it a reality.

 

This marks the first time our customers will be supplied from a generation source other than NB Power.
