MOHAVE GENERATING STATION WILL NOT RESTART!

SRP Ceases Effort to Restart Mohave Generating Station

Concludes that Timeline Delays would Render the Facility Economically Unfeasible

Salt River Project, a 20 percent owner of the Mohave Generating Station (MGS) in Laughlin, Nev., is ending efforts to return the plant to service.

Returning the Mohave facility to service would have provided much-needed energy to Arizona and the growing greater Phoenix metropolitan area. However, after efforts failed to reach a purchase agreement with Southern California Edison (SCE), the majority owner and operator of MGS, SRP has concluded that it will be unable to bring the facility back into service with the appropriate environmental emission controls in sufficient time to make it economically feasible for SRP customers.

SRP believes SCE intends to continue with its ongoing effort to identify potential new buyers for Mohave.
