CPV Employees Pack 2,500 Food Boxes Across The Greater Boston and Capital Area Food Banks
Community impact starts with showing up! Through our charitable giving program, CPV is proud to support the communities where we live and work. In December 2025, employees from our Braintree and Silver Spring offices volunteered at The Greater Boston Food Bank (GBFB) and the Capital Area Food Bank (CAFB), two organizations working every day to reduce food insecurity. GBFB works to end hunger across Eastern Massachusetts by providing healthy food and resources to those in need, while CAFB advances equitable access to food and addresses the root causes of hunger across the Washington, D.C. region.
Our employees rolled up their sleeves and made a meaningful impact. Together the teams packed nearly 2,500 boxes that will provide 22,000 meals to people in need.

Oxford Volunteer Fire Department Practices High-Angle Rescue Drills At CPV Towantic Energy Center
CPV Towantic Energy Center hosted the local Oxford Volunteer Fire Department for a visit to the energy project site on Saturday, November 5, 2016 to practice the life-saving high-angle rescue drill, a technique used to rescue injured or otherwise incapacitated persons at high-degree slopes.
The fire department successfully performed a total of three practice rescues, two using an on-site crane and one using their ladder truck that was purchased with funds contributed to the town by the energy project in 2007. The rescue scenario consisted of a worker being injured on the steam turbine table top, approximately 40 feet above the ground. Photos were taken of the drills for use as future training aids for the fire department.
“We appreciate the Oxford Volunteer Fire Department’s commitment to working closely with the CPV Towantic Energy Center team and look forward to our continued work together to ensure the highest levels of safety for everyone who works and lives near this state-of-the-art facility,” said Colin Kelly, CPV Towantic Asset Manager Representative.

Pelletier, Fire Chief of the Oxford Volunteer Fire Department. “This kind of on-site training is invaluable for ensuring our staff is properly trained to ensure safety in any potential situation.”
