Laidlaw EcoPower, LLC, announced Tuesday that it plans to build what it is calling “the nation’s cleanest commercial biomass energy plant” in New Hampshire.
The joint venture between Laidlaw Energy and EcoPower will be located at an existing biomass energy plant in central New Hampshire. Upon completion, the plant will generate approximately 16 megawatts of gross electric capacity and create about 25 new jobs.The plant will resume operations in 2007 and generate green energy for export to the local power grid. The plant will also provide secondary economic benefits through use of the local trucking and forestry companies.
