Acadia Center: SouthCoast poised for new energy future

SouthCoast is facing a choice between its existing energy infrastructure made up of power stations and miles of wire or a different energy future, officials at the region’s environmental policy nonprofit say. With the Brayton Point Power Station in Somerset scheduled to go offline and with a terminal to build off-shore wind projects slated for New Bedford, “the SouthCoast is facing a huge transition point,” said Abigail Anthony, Acadia Center director in Rhode Island.
