Port Hawkesbury Biomass Plant Running Full

The new biomass-fuelled Nova Scotia Power co-generation plant is now humming at full capacity at the Port Hawkesbury Paper site in Point Tupper.
Mark Sidebottom, NSP's vice-president of power generation and delivery, said on Tuesday the commissioning comes after a 120-hour final testing process last week.
The plant has been under construction for two years and the commissioning process has taken the last six months. The $200-million project came in on budget as expected.
