NRG Energy, Inc. Plans 30 MW Biomass Project at Its Montville, Connecticut Generating Station | BusinessWire via EarthTimes: "NRG Energy is developing a new biomass project at its Montville Generating Station in Uncasville. NRG is enhancing one of the station’s existing units to use biomass as a fuel source for 30 megawatts of the unit’s 82-MW generating capacity. The facility currently is fueled by oil and natural gas. Biomass, which uses plant matter such as chipped wood to produce electricity, is a renewable source of energy that will help lower the facility’s net carbon footprint ... This summer, NRG added 40 MW of ultra low-sulfur distillate fuel power generation at its Cos Cob site in Fairfield County bringing the plant’s total output to 100 MW while reducing overall emissions from the site. Additionally, NRG and The United Illuminating Company, through their GenConn partnership, are developing a combined total of 400 MW of new peaking generation at NRG’s existing sites in Middletown and Milford."
