Biomass plant expected at full capacity by late June

Roger Burton, the utility's senior director of projects,
said that testing is underway at the $200-million
facility located at the Port Hawkesbury Paper site in Point Tupper, N.B.

The facility is expected to generate about 60 megawatts of
electricity a year, enough to power about 50,000 homes and the utility is expected
to buy roughly 500,000 tonnes of biomass fuel annually.
