Brayton Point Power Station was a coal-fired power plant located in Somerset, Massachusetts. It was the largest coal-fired generating station in New England, and was the last coal-fired power station in Massachusetts to provide power to the regional grid.[1] It had been owned by the power company Dominion Energy New England since 2005,[2] after it was purchased from PG&E. The plant was owned from August 2013 to April 2015 by Energy Capital Partners,[3] and is now owned by Dynegy. The plant ceased power generation and went offline on June 1, 2017.[4]
