This grant provided funding to the Town of Tarboro to assist with the acquisition and installation of a 2,000 kW town-owned generator. The generator was needed to assist with General Foam Plastics (GFP) planned expansion of production at its Tarboro facility which significantly increased its peak electrical demand. The generator also provides additional reliability for the electrical circuit serving the area where the GFP plant was located, peak shaving benefitting other electrical users, and is a source of emergency stand-by power.
