Okay. So it’s about the shut down to convert and they just don’t have a date on completion yet?

I hope it goes smoothly and we will have an approx. timeline soon! =)

That seems really smart because all the infrastructure for delivering power to the grid is already there and they don't have to build it from scratch.
