CS Operations Involvement
Burgess BioPower is located at the site of the former Fraser Paper Mill, which devastated the local economy when it closed in 2006. In 2008, CSO brought new life to the shuttered mill by converting Fraser's existing black liquor boiler into a state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly, biomass power generating facility. The project closed financing in 2011, completed construction in 2013, and has been in commercial operation since 2014. CSO developed, constructed, and managed the facility until 2025.
