Merrimack Station

Granite Shore Power, which owns Merrimack Station, says the exemption from the federal government means they won’t need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to comply with new regulations months before closing down.

The plant passed a long-overdue emissions test for one of its coal-fired generating units, but still hasn’t passed a test for the other. That raises questions about how the plant will run this winter, a time when the region’s grid looks to fossil fuels as backup power.

Granite Shore Power, which owns two plants in New Hampshire, says it will redevelop the sites into renewable energy parks, with solar and battery storage.

The coal plant, which is owned by Granite Shore Power, has tried four times to retest its emissions system since February 2023, but it says it’s faced operational issues on every occasion.

The plant, in Bow, has not completed scheduled retests multiple times, most recently in early December.

The case centered around the hot water that the Merrimack Generating Station puts into the Merrimack River, and how it affects fish and other aquatic life.

Granite Shore Power, which owns the station, says the issue has been fixed, and it will soon retest.

One of the protestors said the demonstration was also about the rights of rail workers, who have called for better working conditions.

At the center of the case is a 1992 permit for discharging hot water into the Merrimack River, which environmental advocacy groups say the plant has not followed.
