Construction of Lopez Canyon Landfill's energy recovery project, developed by NEO Corporation, began in October 1998 and was complete by the end of the year. The plant uses two internal combustion Caterpillar 3616 engines to produce 6 MW of electricity. The engines were fired for the first time on December 16, 1998. The plant was operated in a startup mode for a few weeks and began sending electricity to the power grid in January 1999. When the state of California experienced a power shortage in early 2001, the City's Bureau of Sanitation and Department of Water and Power formed a partnership to find a beneficial use for the remainder of the landfill's LFG. With only a third of the gas produced being converted into energy and the rest wasted by flaring, they acted quickly. In a period of 5 months a 1.5 MW microturbine energy facility consisting of fifty 30 kW microturbines and associated appurtenances was constructed. Lopez Canyon's microturbine energy facility, which began operating in 2002, is the largest in the world.

The Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority, in partnership with PPL Energy Services Holdings, LLC developed a renewable energy project that extracts methane gas from its two landfills, Creswell and Frey Farm. The Creswell LF is inactive, having closed in 1989; its gas collection system is in place with 53 wells placed throughout the site. Gas wells at the currently used Frey Farm LF are installed as the final cap is placed. The site hosts 33 wells with a total of 120 wells expected when the landfill reaches capacity in ~2020. The LFG powers 2 Caterpillar engines that can generate 3,200 kilowatts of power. Waste heat from the exhaust of the engines is used to supply steam via a loop pipeline to the adjacent Turkey Hill Dairy, providing 80% of their energy needs and saving the annual combustion of 240,000 gallons of diesel fuel. LCSWMA has one of the few totally integrated solid waste management systems in Pennsylvania, if not the United States. This helps to assure that the MSW generated is managed in an environmentally safe, reliable, and efficient manner. In addition to the Frey Farm LF, the Authority's integrated system consists of a Resource Recovery Facility, a permanent Household Hazardous Waste facility, and a countywide comprehensive recycling program. Each year, the Authority processes more than 530,000 tons of waste through the facilities and also coordinates recycling programs to achieve a 38% recycling rate. Primarily because of the integrated system, only 20% of the waste volume enters the Frey Farm LF extending its life expectancy about 20 years. No tax dollars are utilized by the Authority. Financing is from tipping fees charged for waste disposal and revenue from the sale of electricity generated by the Resource Recovery Facility.

Southeastern Chester County Refuse Authority (SECCRA), a municipal authority formed in 1968, provides a regional waste management solution for municipal solid waste planning in southern Chester County. SECCRA's current landfill is located in London Grove Township on PA Route 926, between Routes 841 and 41. The SECCRA Community Landfill is relatively small by today's standards, accepting about 450 tons per day of trash from local municipalities. The landfill does not accept waste from outside its service area, nor from out of state. In the past, smaller landfills were overlooked for their potential for electricity generation due to the proportionately larger capital costs and relatively smaller gas generation potential. Currently, SECCRA POWER is in full operation, and is producing almost a megawatt of power from the LFG generated at the SECCRA Community Landfill. Since the project began, recorded methane gas flow rates are in excess of the current capacity for which one engine/generator set is rated. The development of Phase II and the addition of a second engine/generator set will occur in 2008 to convert the maximum amount of methane gas to produce the maximum amount of "green electricity" possible. The project is financially sustainable, and has surpassed expectations.

Georgetown County has not yet developed an LFGE project. In September 1999, a feasibility analysis was performed for a greenhouse/composting facility using LFG, but the county did not pursue the greenhouse project. The county has been investigating other LFGE options; however, due to the landfill's relatively small size, an energy project has not been developed. In 2005, LFGE operations have been pursued again, but no committment has been made at this time.
