BERLIN — Gov. Chris Sununu on Friday signed SB 271 after the House and Senate agreed on a compromise that will give the Burgess BioPower biomass plant a year to continue to receive above market rates for the power it produces.

The bill requires Burgess BioPower to make its financial reports available to the N.H. Department of Energy and the Office of the Consumer Advocate. The Department of Energy is directed to investigate and audit of the plant’s cost and revenue and submit a report to both the House Science, Technology and Energy committee and the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee by the end of the year. The parties said the extra time will allow the parties time to develop a permanent solution.
