WOODVILLE RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECT

ETEC, an East Texas, not for profit, local electric cooperative is building a power plant that will use renewable biomass as its fuel. Below are some of the project details:

• The biomass will be un-merchantable timber or in-woods timber waste that would otherwise be left to rot.
• No construction wood waste or like waste will be allowed to be used as fuel.
• All fuel will be burned under very controlled conditions, with state of the art technology to get the cleanest, most efficient process.
• The hot gases will be run through state of the art flue controls that are the best available control technology.
• The plant will be located on property between CR 1020 and CR 1030, just west of the intersection of these two roads.
• The plant will be located next to the existing NAPCO chipping mill which will supply all its fuel.
• The plant will maintain a tree buffer around most of the site.
• The plant will be used to serve more than 300,000 co-op members in East Texas.
• Construction will begin once permits are received.
• Construction is expected to be complete by 4Q 2014.
