Four fuel injectors had to be replaced with <br />injectors in our inventory. We will test the remaining 12 fuel injectors as those that <br />failed are rebuilt. Staff also replaced inspection cover gaskets for Engines #1 & #2. <br /> <br />• Mapping department continues to work on implementing mPower Integrator software. <br /> <br />• The substation apparatus technician identified a loose connection on the A-phase of the <br />circuit switcher of Waco Bank #1 during his weekly inspection.

See attached report. <br /> <br />• Some additional grading work was done at the West Substation garage site by Wruck <br />Excavating to facilitate the drive through loading of equipment. <br /> <br />• Connexus Energy utilized their feeder out of the North Substation on June 5 for about <br />4.5 hours due to an outage at their Zimmerman substation. <br /> <br />• With the hot weather in early June, we reached a new system peak of 77.2 MW. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• IR Inspection Report – Waco Substation Bank #1 <br />129
