The 1,780-panel installation and the biogas plant produce up to 25,000 megawatts of electricity per year. Council officials estimate the landfill creates enough electricity to power 4,400 homes. The SRWRA landfill achieves emission-neutral operations by eliminating 135,000 tons of greenhouse gases each year.
