Georgia-Pacific is permanently closing its pulp mill and
chemical plant in Bellingham, Wash. The company cited high energy costs as the
reason for the move. At full capacity the pulp mill could produce 220,000 tons
of pulp a year.
The facilities have been closed since late last year due to
high electric power costs.
While the pulping operations are closed for good, the company will continue to operate the tissue paper and converting operations at the mill as the company uses temporary electric generators. The mill produces around 93,000 tons of tissue a year.
