Closed March -November 2009 while up for sale; bought 11/20/2009; reopened & renamed Gallop Power Greenville.
According to the 2012 U.S. Biomass Power Map, this facility is idle (if it is the same as Gallop Power Greenville).
upgraded in 2006 to bubbling fluidized bed tech.
Boiler #1A will continue to be licensed to fire multiple fuels including: biomass
(wood waste, whole tree chips, and other wood byproducts), #2 fuel oil,
specification waste oil, vehicle carpet waste, knots/screens, mixed laminate, and construction and demolition (C&D) wood.
GSC has also requested that coffee grounds be added to the list of materials they are allowed to burn in Boiler #1A.
The emission increases are determined by subtracting the average actual
emissions of the 24 months preceding the modification (or representative 24
months) from the maximum future license allowed emissions. The results of this
test are as follows:

The plant was acquired from Hafslund ASA in Sep 2005. Originally, the plant burned sawmill residues and waste wood in a B&W vibrating stoker boiler. More recently, carpet remnants were added to the fuel mix. The plant was refit for wood-firing only with a BFB boiler from EPI and new back-end emissions control equipment from Mobotec. This and other upgrades completed for $6.9mn will qualify the facility as a New Renewable Generating Unit under Massachusetts regulations, making it eligible to sell Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to load-serving entities in the New England market.
