Environmental Engineering Reference
In-Depth Information
The main resources for VSPP projects are renewables. This is due to the VSPP's
criteria of not selling more than 10 MW to the grid; therefore, bigger projects such
as cogenerations are not applicable. The VSPP program has provided a great op-
portunity to establish small renewable energy projects, such as solar, wind, biogas,
biomass, biodiesel, MSW, and mini-hydro (
