Dear Community Members,

We’ve been in the process of safely restarting a key unit on site following scheduled maintenance. This is a multi-day operation that involves several phases.

Yesterday, one part of the start-up process required increased flaring, which would have been visible from the surrounding area. Flaring is a controlled and essential safety measure during start-up, and we always aim to minimize its impact.

We expect the full start-up to be completed over the next few days. We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we carry out this important work.

Please do get in touch if you have any questions or concerns about this current activity.  You can email us at [email protected]

Thank you,

The Essar Energy Transition Team
