The nonprofit entity representing the solid waste interests of 115 Maine municipalities is once again pursuing potential partners to help reopen, operate and partially own the shuttered waste-to-energy plant in Hampden after an agreement with a New York-based investment firm fell through. Members of the Municipal Review Committee in a Zoom meeting Tuesday said Revere Capital Partners is still interested and working toward closing on a deal for the plant, but the committee couldn’t wait any longer and had to end its exclusivity agreement Jan. 31. MRC’s executive director, Michael Carroll, said Tuesday that the MRC sent out 10 proposal letters Friday to entities that had been interested in partnering on the plant.
