Y2K and Cogen facilities

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Electric Utilities and Y2K : One Thread

Anyone heard of work being done by builders of cogeneration facilities to investigate Y2K compliance of their plants? I've not seen anything from the oil majors stating that these on-site power plants are critical pieces of Y2K-challenged equipment for the operation of refineries, yet many use them for their primary source of electrical power. Not sure why; it may be an ownership issue, as many are built in collaboration with local power companies, with excess power from these plants being sold back to the local company.
