CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Maxim Power Corp. ("MAXIM" or the "Corporation") (TSX: MXG) provides an update to the non-injury fire incident at Milner 2 (“M2”) that occurred on September 30, 2022.
As previously reported, there was a fire incident at the M2 facility on September 30, 2022. Following preliminary assessments, MAXIM reports that the damage was contained to the air inlet filter house of the M2 power plant. MAXIM confirms there were no injuries sustained in relation to the fire. The incident has not resulted in any damage to the M2 gas turbine, generator, heat recovery steam generator, balance of plant and their associated ancillary systems. Damage from the fire incident currently prevents performance of the hot commissioning activities related to the combined cycle gas turbine expansion of M2 and prevents M2 from operating as a simple cycle facility.
Subject to the ongoing condition assessment, the work to restore the unit to service will commence as soon as possible. At this point MAXIM does not expect to be generating electricity from the Milner site for the remainder of 2022. The Corporation is in the process of initiating an insurance claim for damages and future lost earnings.
MAXIM will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
