Laidlaw Berlin BioPower, LLC, an affiliate of Laidlaw Energy group, Inc., has acquired the former Fraser Paper Mill located in Berlin, New Hampshire, 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 has several other projects under development throughout the Northeast United States, including an award winning renewable energy project located in New York. This renewable energy project involves the conversion of Laidlaw's natural gas cogeneration facility to utilize clean “wood biomass” or wood chips as its fuel source. Laidlaw also has two projects under development in Massachusetts.
Laidlaw Energy Group, Inc. commenced trading publicly in August of 2002, when Laidlaw Energy, a privately held renewable energy company, merged with Poly-Eko Systems, Inc. and immediately thereafter commenced trading under ticker symbol "LLEG".
