OTTAWA, June 6, 2013 /CNW/ - This Friday, June 7, the Minister of Energy, the Honourable Bob Chiarelli will officially open Moose Creek Energy's new 4.2 megawatt (MW) landfill gas-to-energy plant, located at the Laflèche Environmental Inc. facility in Moose Creek, Ontario. The Moose Creek Energy facility is Energy Ottawa's second joint venture with Integrated Gas Recovery Services Inc. (IGRS), who together also own and operate the Trail Road landfill gas-to-energy plant in the City of Ottawa.
