The East Texas Electric Cooperative (ETEC) announced last week a contract was finalized with North American Procurement Co. (NAPCO) to develop a
wood-fueled biomass plant in Woodville, Tex. The plant will have the capability of producing 50 megawatts of power.

ETEC has licensed NAPCO, locally owned and operated in Woodville, as the sole provider of wood chips and other wood materials to fuel the plant. This partnership will create a market for the abundant wood by-products already available in the area. The plant will have a significant positive impact on the local economy, with more than 250 jobs created during the construction phase and 25 full-time positions needed to operate the plant.
