Notes
Mount Lassen Power is a biomass facility that receives saw mill waste and forest residues from Lassen and Plumas Counties and surrounding areas. The plant provides a market for all of the products removed in a thinning operation, allowing forest management practices to improve forest health and lower fire potential. The facility processes more than 270 tons of biomass waste materials each day, converting the material into approximately 11.5 megawatt hours of electricity. This power is enough to meet the needs of 11,500 homes. The facility has been owned and operated by Covanta Energy since 1997.
