Efficiency is the word of the day for the new Woodbridge Energy  
Center, a new power plant coming to Keasbey.

The natural gas-fueled electric generation facility will be located  
at the former EPEC Polymers site in the Keasbey Redevelopment Zone,  
an 655-acre area  that is currently undergoing remediation,  
restoration, and redevelopment.  The zone also includes an area where  
forty thousand cubic yards of soil contaminated with low levels of  
benzo(a)pyrene was trucked from Bound Brook to use as fill-in  
material and will also include a waterfront park, giving residents  
access to the Raritan River for the first time in over a century.

"We are here today because we're done planning, we're working on  
cleanup, and we actually have something real and major coming to this  
site," said Caroline Ehrlich, Director of the Woodbridge  
Redevelopment Agency.
