Washington (Platts)--10Jul2007

Palo Verde-1 probably won't go back online until July 14, Arizona Public
Service Co. spokesman Mark Fallon said July 9. The 1,428-MW PWR began a
refueling and maintenance outage May 19 that had been expected to take less
than 40 days to complete. However, Fallon said that the unit would not be
restarted until a problem with a safety injection check valve has been
corrected. The unit is one of three reactors at the Palo Verde station, which
has a combined gross generating capacity of 4,224 MW.
