Albury, NSW converts landfill into Renewable Energy Hub powered by solar and waste energy
Albury, NSW Renewable Energy Hub Solar Waste Energy
A capped landfill at the Albury Waste Management Centre (AWMC )was turned into a 1.1-megawatt solar farm with 4,000 panels. Albury City Council previously built a 1.1-megawatt methane gas generator at the AWMC in 2014. The combined power of solar panels and waste energy provides enough electricity for 1,900 homes each year. Council officials estimate an emission reduction of 54,000 tons per year due to the Renewable Energy Hub.
