A hydroelectric power project at the L.P. Athol Corp. of Athol is one of nine clean energy projects awarded a total of $3 million in grants from the Massachusetts Renewable Energy Trust.
The Athol project was awarded a $250,000 grant to increase the efficiency of its hydroelectric power system by installing new polyethylene trash racks, new trash raking machines and new automated electrical controls.
