A Maine biomass energy company has filed a breach of contract complaint in federal court against Canadian-based KMW Energy. The complaint alleges that a faulty steam turbine KMW delivered two and a half years ago to Georges River Energy (GRE) in Searsmont will cost it in excess of $10 million. Because KMW is insolvent, GRE is demanding that the Canadian firm's insurance company replace the faulty turbine and pay damages.
