U.S. Gain, EnTech Solutions Bring Renewable Energy to RNG System
by Erin O’Connor (NGT News) U.S. Gain, a developer and distributor of alternative fuel and renewable energy, has completed its first integration of a solar microgrid at its Dallmann East River Dairy digester in Brillion, Wis.
This U.S. Gain-owned digester has been producing renewable natural gas (RNG) for the transportation industry since August 2020.
This project highlights the integration of sustainability progress and energy independence into the farming and renewable natural gas communities. Using solar panels, renewable electricity is generated and used to power day-to-day digester operations. This electricity can also be stored in onsite batteries to be used at night or on cloudy days.
Additionally, through onsite combined heat and power (CHP) technology, heat is captured and repurposed to reduce natural gas demand.
Producing RNG with renewable energy improves the carbon intensity (CI) of the fuel, making it more sustainable and valuable in the marketplace.

A key project partner for U.S. Gain’s Dallmann solar microgrid project is EnTech Solutions, a provider of sustainable energy solutions. EnTech Solutions provided end-to-end project management including energy modeling using EnergyDNA, microgrid and solar engineering and development, installation and optimization. EnTech will also provide 24/7 support and maintenance over the 20-year contract. This is the second project that U.S. Gain and EnTech have partnered on for microgrid use at RNG facilities. READ MORE
