A Trusted Partner
The Canal Generating Plant has been a part of the Sandwich community for decades. Since 1968, we have supported the regional power grid by providing reliable energy during the moments when New England needs it most – from winter cold snaps to summer heat waves.
With approximately 50 employees and more than $3 million in annual payments to the Town of Sandwich, we’re proud to support the local community.
