Ecotricity Guelph Inc.
Ecotricity Guelph Inc is an alternative energy company that converts
methane gas into electricity. The gas is derived from the City of
Guelph’s Eastview Landfill Plant and the project is carried out in
co-operation with the City.
The plant generates about 2.5 MW of electrical energy annually, which is approximately 1% of the City of Guelph’s requirements. The plant has an operating life of about 20 years. When the generation plant is not operating, the methane gas is flared off to reduce waste and odour.
The Ecotricity plant, with construction completed in April 2005, was the first participant project under the Province of Ontario’s Renewable Energy Supply (RES) contracts.
The plant’s first day of production was June 14, 2005. Three new Landfill Gas were added to the collection system in June 2006.
