Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

Global pulp manufacturing company Mercer International, New York, N.Y., USA, announced this week that its Celgar mill in British Columbia, Canada, has completed a 72-hour performance test on a new turbine in its Green Energy Project. As part of the project's commissioning and optimization phase, the test is required under Mercer's power purchase agreement with BC Hydro. Test results and other required documentation were submitted to BC Hydro for approval of commercial operation status.

Following BC Hydro's confirmation of the receipt of all necessary documentation, Mercer expects that commercial operation status under the EPA will be set retroactive to September 27, and all power generation from that point will be recognized at Bioenergy rates.
