The question is found in the 5th paragraph and answer down from top of gemmerling’s post:

Gerry Lacasse, 554 Sullivan Street voiced that the State has regulations on biomass and why cant’ we just stay with their regulations?

In response, Mayor Bertrand stated that a biomass plant of more than 30 megawatts would be regulated by the State; however one of less capacity would be local. The ordinance will be for any energy project that may come before the city and if the project is less than 30 megawatts, the State does not become involved.


and from “The City That Trees Built" Blog,

we learn in the very 1st question and answer: Q) Who is Laidlaw and what are they planning to do with the Fraser site?

A) Laidlaw Berlin BioPower, LLC is an affiliate of Laidlaw Energy Group, Inc., an independent developer of renewable energy projects. Laidlaw is currently under contract to purchase the southern portion of the Fraser paper mill site. They plan to convert the existing recovery boiler into a biomass power plant that will deliver 58 megawatts of electricity to the grid.

IMO it appears as 58 megawatts is higher than and not less than the 30 megawatts any regulation would be by the state of New Hampshire and not the city of Berlin. I think it has been pretty well explained where the state stands.
