Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Martin Lake Power Station, which is located in Tatum, Texas, shut down units 1 and 2, which have a combined capacity of 1,586 megawatts (MW), on Tuesday due to a lignite fuel pluggage that affected silo-bunker chutes. The station is owned by Luminant Energy Company (Dallas, Texas).
Plant officials partly attributed the problem to weather conditions, citing severe rain over the last few days. Investigations are ongoing, and officials expect to return Unit 1 to service on Wednesday, and Unit 2 possibly on Thursday, if there are no delays.
The coal-fired plant has three generating units with a total capacity of 2,379 MW when at full load. Unit 3 is on standby, but officials said that it is available to be brought online when dispatched.
