Officials cut the ribbon Monday to mark the successful operational startup of a new $795 million renewable-energy-fueled facility at the Savannah River Site.
The 34-acre SRS Biomass Cogeneration Facility is the culmination of 30 months and more than 600,000 hours of labor.
This project is also the single largest renewable energy savings performance contract in the nation's history.
The project sustained and created an estimated 800 jobs, spanning the mechanical, construction, engineering, and supplier sectors. When fully operational, the plant will employ 25 full-time jobs onsite and support the local logging community.
