Where does the electricity for the Green Power Program come from?
The renewable energy source is methane gas produced at the Horry County Solid Waste Authority Landfill and the Lee County Landfill SC, LLC. The methane gas from the decomposing garbage produces 8.7 megawatts of electricity.
How does the Green Power help improve the environment?
Renewable resources produce little or no air pollution or waste. Better yet, some of them actually reduce air pollution and benefit the environment. At full capacity, the 8.7 megawatts reduces methane emissions from the landfills. This is equivalent to planting more than 47,000 acres of trees, enough to cover an almost 75 square mile area.
