Summary Explanation and Background:
As is permissible under the current Landfill Gas Purchase Agreement, Brevard Energy LLC intends to expand their landfill gas processing to include construction and operation of a pipeline-quality landfill gas processing facility, conversion of the landfill gas-to-energy facility to a natural gas-to-energy facility, and utilize the generated electricity to power the pipeline-quality landfill gas processing facility. Expansion of the operation includes extending a natural gas pipeline from the processing facility to Adamson Road, where it will then extend across Adamson Road and connect to an existing Florida Gas Transmission pipeline that runs parallel to Interstate 95. Brevard County will not be paying for the construction, operation, or maintenance of the expanded gas processing facility. If for any reason Brevard Energy cannot construct the pipeline gas processing facility, they will continue to utilize landfill gas to generate electric power for supply and sale to the grid.
