Notes
200 MW biomass (200 MW nameplate @ 100% "Wood Waste"); renewable energy certification granted; 09-1043-EL-REN Biomass Group LLC initially proposed the 148-200MW South Point project in Lawrence County, Ohio - the largest project in the US - in the 4th quarter of 2003 with a then-anticipated start date of 1 April 2006. That start date was contingent on signing a power purchase agreement by 31 December 2003 - a goal that has yet to be met. The 7 proposed boilers already exist, but had been burning coal. The Turbine would be completely new. The existing facility assets also include raw water and waste water systems, extensive underground piping, covered fuel storage, rail, an extensive road system, and a 1980's baghouse and stack. The air pollution control requirements will be satisfied by the addition of a new precipitator, catalyst systems, and a dry scrubber. Thomas King, executive vice-president, finance at US Renewables Group, which buys, develops and operates renewable energy and clean fuel assets, estimates the daily requirements of such a plant to exceed 300 truckloads of fuel a day.
