Central Maine Power built it when Maine deregulated in the late 90s.

That was one of the generation assets that Florida Power and Light won through an RFP process where they acquired all of the CMP's dams, the Wyman Station project in Yarmouth, and Mason Station small facility in Wiscasset.

There's about 800 megawatts of transmission capacity from Wyman, mostly unused Wyman, has what you were referencing as a four capacity market contract with ISO New England that they sort of bid in every couple years, and I think they have some more years left.

My recollection of that DEP application they submitted was that they would shut down two of the units.

One was a coal gasification plant, one was a pump storage facility that was going to be dug into the river there, and then also potentially an offshore wind cable going up the Sheepskate River and connecting there.

So, but that I think Melissa mentioned Surowiec.
J
48:17Jeff ThalerMODERATOR
Surowiec's in North Yarmouth where there is a constriction currently so and substantial load going into Wiscasset currently would have to deal with that to get out but Wyman Station is south of that just for whatever it's worth.

So we do have a lot of unused capacity Rick you would probably know that well as well.
