Power outages to limit Lake Charles restarts until late September,says Westlake

摘要

Westlake Chemical says"some"of the production units at its facility in Lake Charles,Louisiana,will not restart until the end of September because of ongoing power outages resulting from Hurricane Laura,which struck on 27 August."The local utility,Entergy Louisiana,has reported extensive damage to the electricity transmission system in the Lake Charles area,and that restoration of service will take a number of weeks,"says a statement issued this morning by Westlake."Given Entergy's latest guidance on the restoration of power to the Lake Charles area,barring other unforeseen circumstances,we currently expect production at some of our units to restart by the end of September and full production to resume in early October."
