Located in Sterling, CT, near the border of the state of Rhode Island, is the Exeter Energy plant. This a 31 megawatt waste tire-fueled power plant. The facility utilizes whole and shredded tires as primary fuel, and propane for startup and shutdown.

The plant generates approximately 200,000 megawatt-hours of electricity a year, which is equivalent to conserving approximately 480,000 barrels of oil annually. The plant qualifies as a Class II renewable energy source. Electricity from the plant is directed along an 8.5 mile underground cable system for final sale into the regional electricity market.

CMS Enterprises operates the plant and is its sole owner.]]> Exeter Energy Power Plant (Tire Incinerator)

Elbe Crossing 2 is a group of pylons providing overhead lines for four 380kV three phase AC current circuits across the River Elbe. It was constructed between 1976 and 1978 to supplement Elbe Crossing 1, and consists of 4 masts. This is one of two carrying pylons, each 227 metres tall. They are the tallest pylons in Europe. This one is on the northern side of Elbe, the other one is on the island of Lühesand.]]> Elbe Crossing 2
