The Point Lepreau Generating Station is currently operating safely at 95 per cent according to the New Brunswick government.
NB Power is considering the advantages of a two-week outage this fall so technicians can make adjustments to a steam valve.
NB Power stated its intent to have a two-week outage back in June. Fixing the valve would take care of steam line vibration issues, allowing the plant to return to 100 per cent reactor power.
If an outage is required, rates for NB Power customers would not be affected.
