Due to a planned outage at the Boundary Dam Power Station carbon capture and storage (CCS)
facility, the facility experienced lower than average performance during the month of February. In Feb
ruary, the facility captured over 21,800 tonnes of carbon dioxide while operating 39 per cent of the
month. As noted in January’s update, planned maintenance for routine cleaning and inspection was scheduled at the beginning of February taking the facility offline for just over two weeks. The maintenance completed was in preparation of a longer, planned maintenance that is scheduled to begin in June.
The facility resumed operations in mid-February, but was then taken offline for several days in the latter part of the month due to electrical issues with the compressor. Temporary corrective actions have been applied to fix the issue and further maintenance is scheduled to take place during the June outage.
