Wind Project at Turkey Point
LCSWMA, in conjunction with PPL Renewable Energy, installed a 3.2 megawatt wind project (two 1.6 megawatt wind turbines) at its Frey Farm Landfill in fall of 2010. This wind project, located along the scenic Susquehanna River in Manor Township, Pennsylvania, directly confronts prevailing winds from the northwest, and is located on a non-operational portion of the landfill site.

Through this project, the adjacent Turkey Hill Dairy will receive 25% of its annual electricity needs from clean, renewable wind energy to power its manufacturing operations. Generating 7.76 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually, the output from this project is enough to make 6 million gallons of ice cream or power 700 homes. The Wind Project at Turkey Point, recognized nationally for its innovative application, exemplifies a unique approach to landfill re-use.
