Dartmouth Power expansion hearing 10/1

The Zoning Board of Appeals and Select Board will hold a joint session tonight at 7PM in the room 304 of the Town Hall to consider an application by Dartmouth Power to expand their generating facility located off Old Fall River Road. The proposed expansion is ...

... a gas turbine generator which will be used for reserve capacity peaking service. That means the generator would only be operated when demand was high or other generating facilities were not available. The plant will be built on land owned by the current facility.
