Generator issue at Callaway Energy Center keeps plant offline
FULTON, Mo. (KMIZ)
Ameren is reporting that an issue with a generator at the Callaway Energy Center has kept the plant offline while the company investigates.
According to a release from the company, an issue arose for the non-nuclear operating issue related to its generator during its 24th refueling and maintenance outage.
Due to the issue, the plant is not operating while the situation is investigated and allows for the company to implement an action plan to safely return the facility to service.
"Our team remains dedicated to working safely and taking prudent actions for the long-term benefit of the customers and communities we serve," said Fadi Diya, senior vice president and chief nuclear officer for Ameren Missouri, a subsidiary of Ameren Corporation (NYSE: AEE).
The company says the generation resources remain adequate to meet its customers' needs while Callaway is not operating. Ameren does not expect this matter to have a significant impact on the company's financial results.
