This is according to William “Ricky” Cornelius, Plant Superintendent at the new WWTP, aka Withlacoochee WPCP. He also said they have the same deal with Colquitt EMC I do: they pay the EMC 10 cents per kilowatt hour (kwh) and the EMC pays them 4.5 cents. So whatever the WWTP uses directly is gravy, but if they produce more than they use, they get a low rate from CEMC. This is the same “avoided rate” scheme all the electric utilities in Georgia use for paying for locally-generated electric power.
a) Consideration of Easement Agreements with Georgia Power for solar arrays on Val Tech Road at the old landfill near Valdosta State Prison and at the Police Department firing range.
Or should that say Wiregrass Technical College Highway?
In addition to the solar arrays Valdosta is building, there are also ones at the airport, and at Langboard; stay tuned.
