Otis

Eagle Creek owns and operates six run-of-river hydroelectric facilities on the Androscoggin River and its tributary, the Little Androscoggin River, in Maine. From upstream to downstream, these include Riley, Jay, Otis, and Livermore on the Androscoggin, Hackett Mills on the Little Androscoggin, and Worumbo on the Androscoggin (downstream of its confluence with the Little Androscoggin). Together, these facilities supply New England with over 240 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy each year.

Riley, Jay, Otis, and Livermore were originally built in the late 1800s as paper and pulp facilities and were among the original paper and pulp mills at the time of formation of International Paper in 1898. Currently, they provide energy to Verso’s Androscoggin Mill in Jay, Maine. Eagle Creek bought the hydroelectric facilities from Verso in early 2016. The facilities are licensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission through 2048.  Riley, Jay, and Livermore form FERC Project No. 2375. Otis is licensed separately as FERC Project No. 8277. The facilities have been certified by the Low Impact Hydro Institute under LIHI Certificate No. 48.
