New Jersey's Hudson Station Forced Offline for Repairs

---

Researched by Industrial Information Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Hudson Generating Station, which is located in Jersey City, New Jersey, shut down its 659-megawatt (MW) unit on Wednesday, January 28, due to a reheater leak in a section of the boiler. The station is owned and operated by Public Service Enterprise Group (NYSE:PSEG) (Newark, New Jersey).

Officials said that they are still investigating, but have not been able to isolate or position the leak. (The boiler has to cool down before they can enter to begin repairs.) Officials expect to return the unit online Monday, February 2, if there are no delays.

The Hudson plant has one generating unit, Unit 2, with a total capacity of 659 MW when at full load.
