Bridgewater Power Company started generation in August of 1987. The plant sells wholesale power to Pubclic Service Company of New Hampshire under a long tern rate order (20 years). The plant changed from a gross to net supplier after a negotiated settlement to PUC Order No. 20,185. This ruling capped energy output at 1.05 times the rate order capacity of 15 mW in any one hour period (15.75) with monthly limits of rate order capacity (15 mW) times the number of hours in the billing period.
