Seminole Road Landfill 3.2 MW LFGTE Green Energy Facility
DeKalb County, Georgia
DeKalb Sanitation developed and financed this 3.2 MW gas to electric
project, located in Metropolitan Atlanta. County staff, working with elected
officials was able to bid on and be awarded the first Georgia Power
Municipal Utility Company’s Green Energy Electrical Production Program

has produced more than 43,200 megawatts of electricity and generated more

facility is operated under contract by SCS Engineers and has met all
requirements and obligations of Georgia Power and the State.
Renewable Solutions/Oak Grove Facility
The Republic Services Oak Grove Landfill is located in the City ofWinder,
Georgia. The landfill gas (LFG) flow is currently about 3,500 scfm and is
projected to reach over 5,000 scfm in a few years. The best option for the
LFG is the injection of high Btu pipeline quality gas (manufactured gas) into
the nearby City ofWinder Gas System. A five-mile pipeline was built to
connect Oak Grove to the nearby City of Buford Gas System. This
supported maximum gas delivery toWinder, and also increased overall
supply reliability for both Buford andWinder through development of an
alternative supply to theWilliams pipeline.
