About sixty miles west of Charlotte north Carolina's suicide of cliff side six. Construction project under -- -- do Dynegy. And with very -- -- news. Project manager to do. On this third thanks very much for taking time -- shows around it was just a little -- of what we're taking a look at from this vantage point. At units what it what it. North Pole reluctant that is the cliffside modernization drive which -- -- new -- six that you can see here right behind us. And it also includes the addition of the driver that you which is difficult -- from the vantage point and finally. We think this next one group or right directly behind is that you know these -- Units have been using their element and throw in 1940. One before approximately 300 megawatts and -- want. -- in online. Now right here. Boiler building in -- -- in its next night I analyze. It critically unit. Very innovative. -- and -- this -- with this not only Atlanta but all those drives. That they'll bag else. You can say is that. In the background. I'm pretending. It says. One for -- -- One uses it. Perhaps -- back in the background here. Angle. Moreover building. Here that we -- six the another over vessel for you. -- using both wet Andrus scrubbing on units that. -- employees doing explain if it. -- thing. Wanted to do this -- and make it. Playing it right. And we knew we -- and an investment in the and birth what. -- is -- today. Let's. He has come back we anyway that. Was it came in. All of our inflated this configuration. -- now it. And gave us. -- -- Although. It also. Yeah water in the way we denied them for it only can we -- -- materials in the windy day. We've got a condition. In. All. Eight. All right. General. You may not -- and and they can more old. Those. Four units units fixes going to be more efficient than those for you don't mind -- More -- and -- four units are more efficient and 800 megawatts in right thank you know. And the key thing is. That a lot of our generation -- six. Thirty that's the attitude and it there than it would come and right and you don't you. We talked about. How much -- -- being. Or about unions and use. Live TV system or Naples visiting night after and the in the case of -- six. Found that some. If you're able to stand -- -- vessel. Bob levels. Grain and water coming -- -- like. -- It is for -- But tell us a little bit about the efficiency and that in the new units six. -- sixes am I touching off guard unit will be the most efficient muted on the big system and they want more efficient units in the country. He read about eighty -- -- We've got the -- you all right unit it needs. This steam turbine generator from Toshiba. And between the two -- -- -- one efficiency from this plant which of those to burn less coal to group produced the same amount. Megawatt hours tells us to burn. Let's go to produce the same number megawatt house. Where users people from. That thing about this unit is that it'll -- in the burn. -- with. Sulfur content. 3% three and a half percent of the about an honest it is so. -- on this that if you. And -- we want have to have just. -- -- -- Illinois basin fielding give -- some good thank you feel if we want to get burned Colombian deal. It's it's good for a wide variety of fields -- -- reasons that we did we don't necessarily know what that. All markets can do in the future. To be able to. Least expensive fuel. As we -- minimize cost them. We're very thanks very much for the tour this morning with the group we came out from -- -- in this afternoon. For our engineering pleasure meeting you. Got a great project good luck thank you let me --
