Dairyland Expands Renewable Energy Resources (January 7, 2010)

Dairyland has signed an agreement with Bach Digester LLC to purchase the energy from a new anaerobic digester “cow power” facility located in Dorchester, Wis. Steven Bach is a member of Taylor Electric Cooperative, a Dairyland member. The facility at the 1,200-cow dairy farm is expected to generate about 300 kilowatts of renewable energy, capable of powering 219 average homes throughout Dairyland’s four-state service area. Bach Digester LLC is the fifth dairy farm anaerobic digester providing “cow power” to members in the Dairyland system. “We continue to seek opportunities to expand our renewable resources and appreciate working with Steven Bach and Taylor Electric to bring this environmentally-friendly energy resource to our members,” said Bill Berg, Dairyland President and CEO.
