"Georgia Power has signed a 20-year contract for electricity with Yellow Pine Energy Company, LLC, a biomass-fired facility to be located near Fort Gaines, Georgia. The material used to generate the power will come from timber harvesting residuals and collection of non-commercial tree species, tree-thinnings, lumber scraps and wood waste reclaimed from landfills. The Yellow Pine facility is scheduled to go into operation in 2010 and will produce 110 megawatts of renewable energy."
