Greenleaf Power, LLC

As a company focused on biomass to electricity, Greenleaf Power is a leading provider of renewable energy in North America. We own and operate 154 megawatts (MW) of dependable generation, fueled by sustainable biomass material. Greenleaf Power collects residual biomass material from agricultural, construction, demolition, landfill, and timber industries and converts that biomass into carbon-neutral electricity for sale to municipal, public power, and investor owned utilities.

Greenleaf Power, LLC was formed in October 2010, to acquire and operate base-load biomass plants and improve those plants performance through: implementation of fuel-supply risk mitigation, PPA contract management, cost discipline, leveraging operating synergies, and applying best-in-class management and operations practices to extend the economic lives of the plants.

Greenleaf completed its first acquisitions in 2010, and has grown its portfolio, which now contains five operating facilities with a combined generation capacity of 154 MW. Greenleaf is headquartered in Sacramento, CA. and directly employs more than 130 people and creates nearly 500 local dedicated jobs collecting, processing, and delivering fuel and consumables to its generating plants.

Desert View (DVP) is under a long term power purchase agreement with Imperial Irrigation District.

DVP is a net 47 MW woody biomass electrical generation facility located approximately 40 miles east of Palm Springs in Riverside County California. The plant is a qualified in-state base load renewable resource (CEC# 60692A) that has been consistently providing renewable energy since 1992. Greenleaf Power acquired DVP in 2011.

DVP utilizes two Combustion Engineering circulating fluidized bed boilers and one Siemens steam turbine generator set to generate between 350,000 and 375,000 MWs annually. The boilers are equipped with multi-clones and baghouses for particulate control, ammonia injection for NOx control, limestone injection for sulfur dioxide control and hydrated lime for HCl and sulfur dioxide control. DVP operates under a Title V Permit and is compliant with all Federal, State, and Regional regulations.

Each year DVP burns between 360,000 and 390,000 tons of urban wood waste, orchard removal trees, and fruit pits. The majority of the fuel is in the form of urban wood waste that is diverted from regional landfills allowing local jurisdictions to meet AB 939 mandated recycling diversion targets. Orchard material is consumed at DVP to satisfy local air quality offset requirements.

Honey Lake (HLP) is under a long term contract with San Diego Gas & Electric.

HLP is a net 30 MW woody biomass electrical generation facility located approximately 20 miles east of Susanville in Lassen County California. The plant is a qualified in-state base load renewable resource (CEC# #60077E) that has been consistently providing renewable energy since 1989. Greenleaf Power acquired HLP in 2010. HLP utilizes a Zurn travelling grate wood fired boiler and General Electric steam turbine generator. The boiler is equipped with multi-clones and an electrostatic precipitator for particulate control, ammonia injection for NOx control, and sodium bicarbonate reagent for sulfur dioxide control. HLP operates under a Title V Permit and is compliant with all Federal, State, and Regional regulations.

Each year HLP burns between 150,000 and 200,000 tons of woody biomass from the following sources: forests derived fuel, urban wood waste, and sawmill byproducts. Additionally, the project uses geothermal groundwater from local wells to preheat its boiler feed water, reducing the plant’s consumption of biomass.

Plainfield Renewable Energy (PRE) supplies the majority of its energy, capacity, and renewable attributes to a subsidiary of Eversource under a long term power purchase agreement. Energy and capacity are also sold in the ISO New England wholesale and capacity markets. Renewable energy certificates are also sold to third parties.

PRE is a net 37.5 MW woody biomass electrical generation facility located in Plainfield, Connecticut. The plant is a certified Class I renewable energy source (Certification #CT00666-13) that has been operating since 2013. Greenleaf Power acquired PRE in 2015.

PRE utilizes a state-of-the-art staged gasification system and one Alstom steam turbine and WEG generator to generate approximately 290,000 MW annually. The plant is equipped with a baghouse for particulate control, urea injection for NOx control, and limestone and hydrated lime injection combined with a circulating dry scrubber for sulfur dioxide control. PRE operates under a Title V Permit and is compliant with all Federal, State, and Regional regulations.

PRE burns annually approximately 350,000 tons of clean wood recovered from construction and demolition activities and other sustainable wood from forestry and land clearing activities.

St. Felicien Cogeneration Power Plant is located in St. Felicien, Quebec, Canada approximately 300 miles north of Montreal. The plant was built in 2001 with Greenleaf taking ownership in 2013.

The St. Felicien facility has a net capacity of approximately 23 megawatts of electricity. It is capable of providing baseload renewable energy for as many as 23,000 homes as well as steam which is provided to the adjacent facility. The biomass facility sells its electrical output to Hydro-Quebec under a long-term agreement.

Thermal Energy Development Partnership (TED) is currently idled.

TED is a net 20.5 MW woody biomass electrical generation facility located in Tracy, in San Joaquin County California. The facility is a qualified in-state base load renewable resource (CEC# 60091E) that has provided renewable energy since 1990. Greenleaf Power acquired TED in 2013.

TED utilizes a Detroit Stoker vibrating grate wood fired boiler and Dresser steam turbine generator set. The boiler is equipped with multi-clones and an electrostatic precipitator for particulate control, ammonia injection for NOx control, limestone injection for sulfur dioxide control, and sodium bicarbonate reagent to reduce stack plume. TBP operates under a Title V Permit and is compliant with all Federal, State, and Regional regulations.

Each year TED burns between 150,000 and 200,000 tons of urban wood waste, orchard removal trees, and shell and pits. The majority of the fuel is in the form of urban wood waste that is diverted from local Bay Area landfills allowing local jurisdictions to meet AB 939 mandated recycling diversion targets. Orchard material is consumed at TED to satisfy air quality offset requirements.
