Don Lowry, president and CEO of Epcor Utilities, said: Epcor faced a number of challenges in 2008. The global financial situation contributed to Epcor recording an impairment charge to goodwill related to its investment in Epcor Power. Planned outages of Genesee units 1, 2 and 3 and an unplanned outage at the Genesee-3 unit in the fourth quarter also had a negative effect on net income.
