Owners of hydroelectric plant that controls Deerfield River flows say they never heard from Olympics organizers
It appears to be another case of a Boston 2024 venue surprise: The owners of a hydroelectric plant that controls water flows on the Deerfield River said late Tuesday they’ve never been contacted by 2024 about using the river for Olympics whitewater slalom.
Bear Swamp straddles the Deerfield River in the towns of Rowe and Florida, Mass. It is also known as Jack Cockwell Station. It has the capacity to produce up to 600 megawatts of power for six hours, or enough to power about 450,000 homes. Whether summer 2024 Olympic whitewater races could be compatible with Bear Swamp’s operations appears to be an unanswered – and even unasked – question.
In response to an NECN query, Tom Uncher, vice president of Atlantic operations for Brookfield Renewable Energy Group, which co-owns Bear Swamp with Emera, said: “Brookfield Renewable has not been contacted regarding the use of the Deerfield River for the 2024 Olympic Games. Brookfield Renewables is not only one of numerous stakeholders on the Deerfield River, but is also one of several hydro operators on it.
