Safety is #1: The team maintained their moral obligation to safety as they performed quality work throughout the outage, which began April 22. The outage was completed with 118 Good Catches & Hazards Mitigated.

"This is a noteworthy accomplishment as it required vigilant leadership and a dedicated focus on Human Performance tools to ensure 200% accountability for safety, particularly given the industrial safety challenges that were present during this significant construction effort," said Browning. 

Operational Excellence includes regularly scheduled maintenance outages which are essential for the safe, reliable operation of Dairyland’s power plant assets. Power plant maintenance is planned during the spring and fall when energy loads are typically lower due to moderate seasonal temperatures resulting in less heating and air conditioning.
