The Wawa facility resumed pellet production this past Friday, having been offline to modify the log in-feed system and complete the most critical phase of its conveyer replacements.
Wawa has been operating at approximately 30% of design capacity since coming online, and is again shipping pellets to the port of Quebec, for delivery to Drax. We expect to complete the second phase of conveyance replacements at Wawa in the 1Q 2016, with the goal of operating at full capacity in the second half of the 2016.
