Laidlaw Berlin BioPower, LLC, an affiliate of Laidlaw Energy Group, Inc., has purchased the former Fraser Pulp Mill located in Berlin, NH (“the “Facility”), with the objective of converting and upgrading the existing facility infrastructure in order to construct an approximately 65 megawatt biomass-energy power plant. Laidlaw Energy’s first fuel conversion project is an innovative renewable energy project located in Cattaraugus County, New York. The renewable energy project involves the conversion of the Laidlaw Energy & Environmental natural gas cogeneration facility to utilize clean “wood biomass” or wood chips as its fuel source. Laidlaw has entered into an agreement with the owners of the Polaroid Facility in New Bedford Ma. to conduct an engineering feasibility study to verify the economics and design concepts of a proposed clean biomass Combined Heat and Power project.
