Item 5. Other Events
This current report includes forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events based upon knowledge of facts as of the date of this current report and our assumptions about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. We have no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
We operate three coal-fired electric generating units and related facilities located near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The planned outages on Units 1 and 2 were scheduled to end on June 2, 2002.
As a result of the Unit 3 selective catalytic reduction system ductwork collapse (previously disclosed on February 10, 2002), we reviewed the similar structures on Units 1 and 2 and determined that as a precaution it would be appropriate to install additional reinforcement in these structures. The additional reinforcement will extend the outages, but the units are expected to return to service before the end of June.
The selective catalytic reduction systems for Units 1 and 2, which reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides from the boiler flue gas during the summer season, are expected to be operational when returned to service.
