The unit shut for planned reasons by Nov. 13.

The 2,498-MW Moss Landing station is located near Salinas in Monterey County about 90 miles (145 km) 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.

Unit 1 continued to operate at reduced output since Nov. 11.

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 17,000 MW of generating capacity and markets energy commodities in the United States. (Reporting by Scott DiSavino; Editing by John Picinich)
