BERLIN — Burgess BioPower, the wood-fired power plant in Berlin, has terminated the power purchase agreement governing the sale of power to Eversource and is filing for bankruptcy, according to a Burgess news release.
The release said the action followed Eversource’s failure to make required payments to the company, which Eversource denies.
