PROFILE |
 |
Independent power producer KENETECH is developing a 1,000-MW independent power plant in New York City, and it is funding the development of a 50-MW, wind-powered generating plant in the UK. The company also is working with OSB Chateaugay to develop a facility in New York that is expected to make up to 475 million square feet of strand board a year. Formerly a holding company for a wind-power equipment firm, KENETECH faced financial difficulties in the 1990s and sold off assets, including its 50%-interest in Puerto Rico-based cogeneration facility, EcoElectrica. KENETECH was taken private in 2001 by ValueAct Capital Partners.
