Default Steam plant barrier
Anyone heard when the barrier will be removed at the GSP?

2016 estimated. It depends on how they are on their schedule. I believe someone else on here had said that Watts Bar was doing construction as well and they were 2 years behind schedule. So you never know.

My guess is it will go longer.

Yup, never know when one of them big ol' cranes that haven't moved in 8 months might decide to just keel over into the canal 500 feet away.

Did that text say its expected to be fully operational by the end of 2017?
I think it reads about 32% complete right now.
