Request No. 19: Please state the maximum amount of Project power net output (net of
Project load only) that can be delivered to the Project common electrical bus during the
hour of highest Project output? (For clarification, Project load for purposes of the .
Production Requests excludes the electric load of Thompson River Lumber Company.
Response to Request No. 19: The TRC Project is a base-load design generation facility.
Thus, the engineering design, under normal operating conditions, is less than 10 average
MW per month. Since it is not a capacity or peaking facility, TRC has not fully
monitored the maximum output level under various fuel and temperature conditions.
However, testing has demonstrated that the maximum amount of Power, net of Project
load, is approximately 10.76 MW. This output level considers burning 100% coal, with a
moisture content of less than 17% and ambient weather conditions.
