PG&E INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENT STUDY

CMSA has excess digester capacity that could accept more high strength organic wastes to produce more biogas and in turn generate additional renewable electricity on-site. This power could be used to offset current purchases of electricity from Marin Clean Energy (MCE) and excess power would be available for sale. CMSA expects there will be sufficient biogas generation in the near future to meet the facility’s power demand and regularly export power for sale through the electrical grid.

Completed by Michael D. Brown Consulting Engineers in August, 2016.
