Winterization strategies for success from Lawrenceburg Power 

Matt Hils, Lawrenceburg & Darby Business Manager, Talen Energy

Matt Hils, Lawrenceburg & Darby Business Manager from Talen Energy, will discuss the program at the Lawrenceburg plant, located in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. The plant has dedicated significant resources to upgrading heat trace panels that now feature control room alarms, which has considerably improved the operators’ situational awareness. Through its program, the Lawrenceburg plant also maintains a fuel strategy that ensures reliable fuel supply and sustained operations during periods of extreme cold, among other key initiatives.
