From the transcript
Um, the diesel that we ran, we ran, um, in the last— what was it, I think in my presentation— the last 2 or 3 years we ran 6 days for partial for peak shaving. Um, that isn't going to increase with the data center because it's going to either have an interruptible rate, meaning that I say you need to shut off in the next half power until our peak loads are under control, or we'll have— um, uh, what was I going to say? I lost my train of thought there. Uh, well, we'll have some sort of agreement, either the interruptible rate or they need to shut down to avoid the peak shaving. Um, and then by the end of 2027, SEPA is going to have the third turbine in place, and its sole job is to eliminate peak shaving in the communities.
