The town of Orrington is now a partial owner of a shuttered trash incinerator, but no one involved will say who is behind the new majority owner trying to restart it. A Florida company that bought the plant in November but failed to restart it sold 80 percent of its stake to Orrington and the new majority owner, Eagle Point Energy Center LLC, on March 1. Orrington’s Board of Selectmen approved the town entering into an agreement with Eagle Point Energy Center after an executive session Feb. 26. But the question of who owns Eagle Point Energy Center remains unanswered.
