I am also unable to find any information on the status of this Berlin permit? On the Laidlaw Energy Group website is does talk about the permit, but does not mention the current status. It does state this however about the permit, and how it impacts the completion of the project.
Commencement of the construction of the project requires approval from the New Hampshire Site Evaluation Committee. Pursuant to recently passed legislation in New Hampshire (see NH Senate Bill 140), a final decision must be rendered on permit applications for renewable energy facilities with a capacity greater than 5 mW within 270 days. Laidlaw Berlin is currently in the process of finalizing its application to the NHSEC.
I don't know how up to date this is, but if the site is up to date then the permit application has yet to be filed. Then they have to wait up to 270 days for a decision, after which time they can begin construction. It could be a long time before this planned facility is operational.
Maybe I'm reading things wrong, but it appears construction has not started on the Berlin plant. Does anyone know what the construction status of this plant is, and when Laidlaw plans to have it up and running?
