21 and $5.89 million, excluding tax. BEC further explained that the two options have similar estimated costs. However, compared with Option A, Option B would provide the following additional benefits: …The proposed new unit provides increa...

AI summary BEC is evaluating two options for a new turbine, noting similar costs but additional benefits from Option B, including increased capacity and efficiency. The rate impact of the project remains uncertain, and BEC plans to file a General Rate Application in 2026. The document also highlights the absence of an OMS manual at Factorydale Dam, with a need for documented standard practices.
