Future of Burgess BioPower in doubt

BERLIN — Burgess BioPower is asking the bankruptcy court to approve a schedule that would have the biomass plant sold by May 16. The request comes after Eversource and the owners of Burgess BioPower reached a settlement agreement on claims between the two parties. Under the settlement, the power purchase and first option agreement between Burgess BioPower and Eversource is terminated.

The terms call for the two parties to release claims against each other and requires Eversource to make a $3.35 million severance payment to Burgess BioPower. It also allows Burgess to sell energy into the ISO-NE grid and Renewable Energy Credits to third parties. A separate motion terminates the purchase power agreement and first option agreement between Burgess BioPower and Eversource. Both motions were approved last week by U.S. Bankruptcy Court of Delaware Judge Laurie Selber Silverstein.
