SPRINGFIELD, Vt. (AP) - The lead developer for wood-fired power plant in Springfield, Vt., says he won't try to appeal a state board's decision to deny a permit.
Last month, the Vermont Public Service Board rejected an application to build the 37-megawatt plant, saying it would unduly interfere with the orderly development of the region and the power benefits of the plant could be provided in a more cost-effective manner through energy conservation programs and energy-efficiency.
The project would have used wood chips trucked to the site and produced low-cost steam heat for the businesses in the industrial park and some neighbors.
Adam Winstanley of Winstanley Enterprises tells the Eagle Times he and project partner Weston Solutions reviewed the decision carefully feel it would be "high bar" to overturn the ruling.

ReplyDeleteGood Bye
ReplyDeleteand one again, Springfield and Vermont in general prove themselves to be non-business friendly. We should turn the industrial park into a retirement home for Nimby's, won't have to worry about traffic, they'll be to old to drive, only worry is the greenhouse gases produced by their hot air
ReplyDeleteTo bad you lose, planet earth wins. :) Yes!!!
DeleteMajor loss for Springfield taxpayers and economic development, time, however, to move on.
Delete1:04, planet Earth would not have even experienced a nick from this project. Put down that pitcher of Kool Aid and grow up for a change.
