Indiana's Rockport Power Station Approaches End of Unplanned Outage

---

Researched by Industrial Information Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The unplanned outage of Unit 2 is almost finished at the Rockport Power Station. Unit 1 returned to service on April 24, while Unit 2 remains offline, looking to return June 12.

Units 2 and 1 were brought offline in April after a small fire damaged the rubber sheath that covers the remote control cable that opens and closes the level indicator.

Rockport Power Station is a 2,600-megawatt, coal-fired power station owned and operated by Indiana Michigan Power Company, which is a subsidiary of American Electric Power (NYSE:AEP). Rockport became operational with Unit 1 in December 1984 in Rockport, Indiana; Unit 2 became operational in 1989. Both units consist of a Babcock & Wilcox dry-bottom boiler and an Alstom Power steam turbine.
