Bryn Posteg Wales
History:
Since March 2003 electricity generation from landfill gas has been undertaken at Bryn Posteg Landfill Site, Llanidloes, Wales. Currently the methane extraction plant is capable of producing 2MW.
An Operations and Maintenance Agreement is in place with Finning Power Systems operating a Caterpillar generator-set.
Project Expansion:
The short term plan for this site is to optimise the current production by tapping into mature cells. Expansion of new wells due in 2009.
Long term goal is to tap into cells which are currently being filled, this has the potential to increase production to 5/6MW.
PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) in place with EDF Energy (UK).
