Paddy

In its second big step into pasture paddy-powered electricity, Pacific Gas and Electric Co. announced last week another waste-to-energy renewable contract in California’s manure-laced central agricultural valley, inking a 10-year deal for up to 3 Bcf of what the utility calls “renewable natural gas” annually from BioEnergy Solutions. As with a similar deal with another biogas provider last fall, the price and other terms of the agreement were kept confidential.
