The first of four turbine-generator units to be upgraded at Box Canyon Dam was completed in March 2011. The new unit is operating above expected energy production and efficiency levels.
Andritz Hydro, the general contractor for the turbine-generator upgrade project, is currently installing the second of four units, which is scheduled to be completed and on-line in June of 2012. Following the completion of this unit, work will begin on the third unit in July of 2012. The fourth and final turbine-generator upgrade is scheduled for completion in 2014.
