Green kW Energy Launches New Site

From Steven Cox, Director of Process Operations, Green kW Energy, Inc., a VT KnowledgeWorks member company:

We're pleased that the new site for Green kW Energy was designed by William McKenzie of The Studio Touch.  McKenzie is great to work with and talented.  The Studio Touch is local to Blacksburg, Virginia, very good, and charges reasonable fees for creation and maintenance.

 
Green kW Energy, Inc. (GkW) is a generator of renewable energy licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia. GkW uses biogas from certified renewable sources to produce electricity. Our electricity is sold to the local utility company or is available directly to customers through net‐metering or Competitive Service
Provider contracts. GkW's niche is building and operating small (<3 MW) renewable electric power generation systems.

Green KW Energy - A Win, Win, Win

"This whole project, I see it as a win-win," Cummins said. "A win, win, win."

Alan Cummins is executive director of the Montgomery Regional Solid Waste Authority(MRSWA) which has just signed a lease with Green KW Energy, Inc., a member company of business acceleration centerVT KnowledgeWorks, to install a generator fueled only by the gas rising from within the  Mid-Couny Landfill off Cinnabar Road in Christiansburg, Virginia.

Congratulations, Steve Cox, and the Green KW Energy Team!
