PG&E Corp.
must spend $68 million to make environmental changes ordered by
state and federal regulators to New England’s largest fossil-fuel
power plant, the Boston Globe and Boston Herald reported.
After finding that hot water discharges from PG&E’s Brayton
Point plant in Somerset, Massachusetts, were killing fish in the
Mount Hope Bay, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection ordered the
plant to draw less water from the bay, the papers said.

The plant will have to cool and recycle more water to reduce
by 94 percent its daily bay water intake to 56 million gallons
from 1 billion gallons, the reports said, citing regulators.
San Francisco-based PG&E disputed $68 million government
estimate of the cost of fixing the plant and said the actual price
could be “three to four times” that, the Globe reported, citing
PG&E spokeswoman Lisa Franklin.
