Enterprise Services to run generators on east Capitol Campus Thursday evening

The Department of Enterprise Services will be running diesel fuel-powered generators on the east Capitol Campus for several hours on Thursday, June 26 beginning at 6 p.m.

The generators will be used to power the state’s data center located in Office Building 2 while workers perform routine power supply maintenance.

Passersby may see some black smoke for a short time when the generators are first turned on. Enterprise Services has checked with the federal National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to ensure prevailing winds and weather conditions allow for minimal environmental and human health impacts.

Surrounding buildings on campus will be unoccupied with windows and dampers closed.
