A Vermont landfill energy project is opening up to visitors.

Washington Electric Cooperative has been using methane from the Coventry landfill since 2005. It recently expanded to eight megawatts of capacity and supplies more than 70 percent of the electricity used by the co-op.

Washington Electric officials have invited members of the media and the public to tour the facility on Airport Road in Coventry between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Wednesday.

A new program to create incentives for renewable energy brought fourth three other proposals to use landfills as a source of electricity.
