Burlington County Landfill

Methane Gas Recovery Electric Power Plant - Burlington., NJ

CEG provided design and construction management services for the installation of the $10 million - 7MW power-generating plant. The plant will convert what is normally waste methane gas produced by the landfill to usable electricity. Built at the site of the Resource Recovery Complex in Mansfield, Burlington County, it will produce enough power to run all landfill operations as well as extra electricity that will be sold for profit. CEG was also responsible for:

Preparing a contract with the NJBPU for a $4 million grant to subsidize the project as part of a "Renewable Grid-Connected Electricity Offering."

Providing consulting services required to develop Interconnect agreement with the PJM.

Negotiating with power plant developers to build, operate & maintain the plant.

Prepare a power purchase agreement.

It is estimated the plant will produce $15 million over the next 15 years by selling excess electricity and eliminating the landfills annual electric bill, $572,000 in the year 2002.
