The Shaw Group, Inc. recently announced that its Shaw EMCON/OWT

successfully completed a 1.6-megawatt (MW) landfill
gas-to-electricity (LFGTE) turnkey development project at the

agreement with the Northern California Power Authority.
"This is a very important project and one that cements our role as
an innovative provider of landfill gas-to-electricity solutions,"
