NEW YORK, May 26 (Reuters) - The 510-megawatt Unit 2 and 739 MW Unit 6 at Dynegy Inc's (DYN.N) Moss Landing natural-gas-fired power station in California returned to service by Monday afternoon, the California ISO said in a report.

Unit 2 shut by May 10 and Unit 6 shut by May 21, both for unplanned reasons.

The 2,498 MW Moss Landing station is located near Salinas, in Monterey County, about 90 miles south of San Francisco.

There are several units at the station, including the two 510 MW combined-cycle units 1 and 2 (which entered service in 2002), and two 739 MW units, 6 (1967) and 7 (1968). Each of the 510 MW combined cycle units is made up of two 165 MW gas turbines and one 180 MW steam turbine.

All of the other units were available for service.

One MW powers about 700 homes in California.

Dynegy, of Houston, owns and operates more than 18,000 MW of generating capacity and markets energy commodities in the United States. (Reporting by Scott DiSavino; Editing by Walter Bagley)
