BERLIN — On July 8, the day before U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen visited the Burgess BioPower biomass plant in Berlin, the plant set a record for wood chip deliveries.
Dammon Frecker, the plant owner, reported that 202 tractor-trailer loads of chips came across the scales, far more than the 115 loads required to fuel the plant.
