THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The agency is planning a turbine facility upgrade under CIP 2206, including a second turbine, ~220 kWh battery storage, and HVAC improvements. Funding is structured around the 2025 budget plus a Dept. of Commerce grant, a TransAlta grant, and potential tax credits and reimbursements, with a project cost of about $3.8 million. Design is at the 90% stage, with long-lead items already being procured and construction targeted for June 2026. This is a strong lead for energy, HVAC, electrical, and controls vendors to support remaining design, procurement, and later measurement and verification work.
Summer flows exceed current turbine capacity and turbine cannot start without external power, driving the upgrade need.
