The Framingham State University Plant, located in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, is a hybrid power plant primarily fueled by distillate fuel oil (DFO). Operated by Framingham State University, the plant has a total capacity of 3.2 MW distributed across 10 generators. The facility commenced operations in 2003 and utilizes both petroleum liquids and solar photovoltaic technologies for electricity generation. Its solar array uses single-axis tracking.
The plant operates within the ISO New England Inc. balancing authority and the Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC) NERC region. In the most recent year of data, the plant generated 31 MWh of electricity, resulting in a capacity factor of 0.1%. The Framingham State University Plant ranks 16th out of 17 similar plants in Massachusetts and 649th nationally out of 886.

No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.
