Weyerhaeuser Scraps Energy Project

Weyerhaeuser has decided not to proceed with an electrical generation project at its Dryden Mill.
The Company has been looking into a project which would have seen waste fiber burned creating 70-85 megawatts of power.
Queen’s Park had asked for proposals on generating 4,400 megawatts but Weyerhaeuser Spokesperson Bonnie Skene says high costs have killed the local proposal.
Skene adds the paper producer still has plans for significant energy reduction in Dryden but ones with a much smaller price tag.
