Concerns about the reliability and availability of the power generation facilities at Omar prompted an independent review of the design, commissioning, maintenance and operation of the facilities. The plant was visited, facilities and records inspected and operating staff interviewed to gain an appreciation of the nature of the problems being experienced.

A report was produced covering:

	Power system operation
	Need for additional generation capacity
	Operation of the power management system
	Protection and control system performance
	Fuel systems integrity
	Potential for latent defects
	Commissioning and operator training.
