No. The extra charge is directly related to the costs incurred during and after the catastrophic ice storm. However, the new headquarters building was critical to efficiently and safely restoring power. We dispatched hundreds of crews daily from this facility, held training briefings from our facility, and ran 100% of our emergency operations, dispatch, warehouse receiving operations, materials storage, meals, all of which would have been nearly impossible with the layout and space at the prior facility. If this event occurred while we were at our prior facility, we would have had the added complexity of finding a second location to provide these logistics. The new HQ building and property provided a centralized space to navigate the ice storm recovery emergency.
