Prineville, OR converts forest biomass into electricity with Prineville Renewable Energy Project
The planned 20-megawatt plant will generate power using materials from woodlands and sawmills. Prineville and Crook County arranged private sources of wood waste for future operations after initial grant funding. Local officials are searching for utilities to purchase PREP electricity estimated to be sufficient for 10,000 homes. This project clears biomass that contributes to forest fires, creates sustainable jobs, and generates minimal emissions.
