Abstract
Pine Tree Power, an affiliate of Alternative Energy, is betting that electric utility deregulation will give Maine's biomass industry new life. Alternative Energy owns four stand-alone biomass facilities in Chester, Ashland and Livermore Falls, and there are other facilities in Athens, Greenville, Stratton, Sherman Station and Fort Fairfield. Pine Tree Power surveyed potential customers in the Bangor area and received almost 4,000 responses of interest in biomass power. Biomass power has less of an enviromental impact than some other types of power, and research has shown that many customers would pay more for low- and non-polluting power. Details.
