M2 CCGT OPERATIONS

As previously reported, Milner 2 (“M2”) had been experiencing a temporary capability derate due to fill fouling within the legacy cooling tower system. In late May, M2 came offline for a planned outage to address routine maintenance items. Management took the opportunity to aggressively expedite cleaning efforts on the legacy cooling tower system during the planned outage window. It is anticipated that M2 will be back on-line within the first half of June, with the temporary capability derate largely restored.
