I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Units 4 and 3 of Muja B were recommissioned in July-August 2008 respectively. Muja A was not required; it was not actually used. Muja B will be decommissioned on 31 March 2009. (2) Muja AB will be placed into care and maintenance until the future of these units has been decided. (3) Muja AB was required for the 2008-09 summer peak period only and is no longer required.
