The Stony Brook Power Plant is a petroleum-fired power station located in Ludlow, MA on a 350-acre site.[3]
It is owned by a number of parties, but 90.75%[2] of it is owned by the Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company (MMWEC).[1] The plant consists of two generating units. The Stony Brook Intermediate Unit generates 354 MW of electricity with its three combined-cycle turbines that can burn either petroleum or natural gas. The Stony Brook Peaking Unit is a 172 MW peaking unit which runs during periods on high demand using petroleum.[1] These units provide electricity to 24 municipalities in Massachusetts.[3]
