The Drysdale renewable energy facility is generating electricity and stopping carbon from being released into the atmosphere.
It is capable of providing enough green electricity to power about 1200 homes.
The facility extracts and captures landfill gas, which is released from decomposing organic material in landfill. The gas engine provides an efficient way to produce electricity, saving more than 15 million litres of water compared to typical coal-fired power stations. The electricity generated is fed back into the power grid.
