Body
Information Contact: Tracy Hutchinson
Phone Number: 404.294.2177
PURPOSE:
To enter into a 20 year Lease Agreement and Landfill Gas Rights Agreement with Conyers Renewable Power, LLC (“Conyers”) whereby Conyers would operate and maintain the Landfill Gas to Electricity (LFGTE) Facility at the Seminole Road Landfill. Conyers has an existing Power Purchase Agreement with Georgia Power, which allows Conyers to sell renewable electricity to Georgia Power. Pursuant to the Lease and the Landfill Gas Rights Agreement, Conyers will make monthly royalty payments to the County and Conyers will perform upgrades and improvements to the LFGTE Facility. Approximately $192,000.000 of these upgrade costs will be deducted from the County’s royalty payment for the first 3 years.
NEED/IMPACT:
Georgia Power terminated the Power Purchase Agreement with the County in July 2015. Since that time, the LFGTE Facility has been in long term storage and has not been in operation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Expected to be revenue generating.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
To approve the Lease and Landfill Gas Rights Agreement and authorize the chief executive officer to execute all necessary documents in a form acceptable to the County Attorney or her designee.
