For RERC Units 1&2, cooling is <br />performed through a shared cooling tower configuration. The cooling tower cools the lubrication <br />and air inlet chiller systems for both gas turbine units. Staff operates and maintains the cooling <br />tower, which is in excellent condition for its age due to maintaining industry best practices of <br />maintenance and operations that almost doubled its useful life. <br />After 17 years of operation, the cooling tower has reached a point where a higher-level routine <br />maintenance is required to sustain reliable operations and optimum performance.
