FirstEnergy Corp. announced Friday the two units at its coal-fired Bruce Mansfield Power Plant in Shippingport, Beaver County are expected to restart early next week following a short out-of-service period that began mid-February.

Restart activities at Units 1 and 3, each with a capacity of 830 megawatts, will begin this weekend.  While the units were offline, Bruce Mansfield's 350 employees completed routine daily maintenance work that supports ongoing safe and reliable operation. 

Unit 2, also with an 830-megawatt capacity, will remain out of service as maintenance on plant equipment is completed.

The Bruce Mansfield Plant is FirstEnergy’s largest coal-fired power plant.
