Why can we get all of our new generation from renewable sources like wood waste, solar, wind and tidal?
Wood waste is the only plentiful supply of renewable energy in our area, and we have determined that there is enough to supply at least 30 megawatts of sustainable power for our generation plan. However, that is nowhere near enough to meet our community’s future demand. Our GRUgreenTM Energy program currently uses landfill gas, solar, and purchased wind energy for sale to those few customers who are willing to pay the premium for this somewhat more expensive energy. By adding wood waste to the mix of fuels for our new unit, we will be renewable leaders not only in Florida, but in the nation.
