EXCITING NEWS AT SENECA On January 26, 2009, Seneca announced that it is building a $45 million wood-fired power plant that will generate enough electricity to light up 13,000 houses annually. Seneca Sustainable Energy officially broke ground on October 9, 2009. Because pictures are worth a thousand words, here is a photo of our shovel-turning ceremony.
