The company that owns the Northern Pulp mill in Pictou County is considering producing electricity from fallen trees caused by post-tropical storm Fiona.
Paper Excellence Canada's vice-president of energy and business development, Carlo Dal Monte, said the company is considering restarting the power boiler to produce "green energy."
