Southeast Berrien
Affiliate North American Natural Resources-SBL, L.L.C. has
contracted for a supply of landfill gas from the Southeast
Berrien Landfill Authority for a period of 25 years. The landfill is
located in Buchanan, Michigan just north of US-12, at the corner
of Mayflower and Chamberlin Roads.
The generating plant will have an initial nameplate capacity of
4,800 kW with a generator building which will allow an increase
in generator capacity to 6,400 kW as the landfill gas supplies
increase over time.
The initial generating plant is comprised of three 3520
Caterpillar generator sets which produce 1,600 kW each at
4,160 volts. The project will generate approximately 40,000,000
kWh annually.
The generating plant is interconnected to the American Electric
Power system at 69 kV by way of the transmission independent
system operator, PJM.
The generating plant is supported by Integrys Energy Services
Company, Inc. who markets the capacity, energy, and
renewable energy credits.
