Puget Sound Energy (PSE), in conjunction with Farm Power, has signed the agreement as a first step toward generation of up to 1.5MW of electric power.
Under the agreement, PSE will purchase electricity generated by Farm Power as well as the associated renewable energy credits resulting from the renewable energy source.
PSE’s prior experience in dairy digesters was reportedly a key component in making the agreement with Farm Power possible. In 2004, PSE supported the development of Washington’s first dairy digester at the VanderHaak farm near Lynden in Whatcom County.
