Trans-Jordan Landfill in South Jordan, UT has begun operating a 4.5 megawatt landfill gas-to-energy project. It is now the fourth such operation and the largest in the state. The landfill, which is cooperatively owned by several Utah cities, spent about $1.5 million on the project, but received $209,000 federal grant. The project was developed and will be operated by Granger Power. Murray City Power will purchase the electricity under a partnership with Trans-Jordan Cities. The electricity will be transmitted via Rocky Mountain Power's utility grid through a Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems agreement.
