Goulburn River to Broadford Pipeline project – $15millionFor more information please click here to read a copy of the media release Broadford/Kilmore Not Left High and Dry. Biogas Generation PlantsIn mid 2005 Goulburn Valley Water entered into an agreement with Diamond Energy to sell the methane gas produced at the Corporation’s High Rate Anaerobic Lagoons at Tatura, Shepparton and Mooroopna. Diamond Energy would build the necessary infrastructure and plants to generate electricity from the biogas. In March 2006 Diamond Energy commenced construction of the first biogas driven electricity generation plant at the Tatura wastewater management facility. The first biogas flowed through the plant in January 2007 and the plant was fully commissioned in the second quarter of 2007. Since January Diamond Energy has exported approximately 1,300 megawatts of electricity up to 30 June 2007. It is anticipated the facility will generate around 5,000 megawatts of electricity per year which will be enough to provide the average electricity needs of approximately 1,000 houses. Annual capital expenditure program of around $20 million. Project NewslettersGoulburn Valley Water makes its Customer Project Newsletters available in Adobe PDF format.
