Desert power plant runs on cattle dung in Imperial desert
A 170 megawatt Mesquite Lake Recovery Project near Imperial, 110 miles east of San Diego, will burn cattle dung to power up to 20,000 homes. It is financed by $37 million in tax exempt bonds and $9 million from investors, with Will Parish of National Energy Associates leading the venture. The plant marks the first commercial facility to burn only cattle chips for fuel, though smaller operations digest manure to produce methane for electricity.
