EKPC to Purchase Methane for Power Generation
A landfill near Glasgow, Kentucky, is leasing land and selling methane gas to East Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC). The coop plans to construct a power generation facility that will use the methane to generate enough energy to power approximately 500 homes. The facility is being developed and constructed with a combination of grants from state and local programs as well as a loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant Program.
