Why is GRU making changes to Deerhaven Unit 2?
Deerhaven Unit 2 is a coal burning unit, is our largest generating unit, and is over 20 years old. While it is still a very dependable source of generation that helps us keep electricity affordable, modern air emissions control equipment can significantly reduce emissions. As a result of new federal legislation passed in April, 2005, GRU will proceed with the retrofitting of Deerhaven 2 to meet new standards. The cost of the mandated retrofit is estimated at approximately $90 million.
