Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) and Microgy, Inc. announced an agreement for the purchase, for an 18-month period, of all Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) generated from Microgy's Huckabay Ridge facility in Stephenville, Texas.

"This purchase agreement with Microgy demonstrates our commitment to providing clean, renewable energy to the people of Texas."

-- Dan Kuehn, Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA), executive manager of wholesale power services

Once operational, the facility owned by Microgy, a subsidiary of Environmental Power Corporation, will generate up to 2 million cubic feet of RNG per day from cow manure and other agricultural wastes for use in any of LCRA's three natural gas-fired power plants. The facility is expected to be generating gas at full capacity by the end of the first quarter of 2007.
