Another auction is scheduled for the Orrington trash incinerator, after a recent purchase fell through. The foreclosed Penobscot Energy Recovery Co. plant was auctioned to Delta Thermo Energy on Nov. 2. The Pennsylvania company made the winning bid of $1.5 million. However, the company decided not to pay the required 10 percent of the sale. Now that Delta Thermo Energy has backed out, a third auction is scheduled for 1 p.m., Tuesday. PERC was originally scheduled for auction in June, but it was delayed three times until the first auction on Oct. 25, where no bids were placed, and the second auction on Nov. 2.
