Peoples Gas announces completion of renewable natural gas facility in Florida

In Florida, TECO Peoples Gas announced the completion of construction of its renewable natural gas (RNG) facility at Alliance Dairies.

The Alliance RNG facility was built and will be owned and operated by Peoples Gas. Once fully operational in about a month, the facility is expected to produce 105,000 MMBtu of RNG, enough to serve about 4,400 homes annually. It will capture waste from approximately 6,500 cows and clean it to pipeline-quality natural gas that can be safely used by any natural gas appliance or other natural gas application.

Helen Wesley, president and CEO of Peoples Gas, said: “We are committed to reducing emissions on our own system while helping our customers and partners reduce theirs. And, with this facility, we’re also helping Alliance create a new revenue stream for their business, and that has a positive impact on Florida’s economy and food supply.”
