The Columbia Generating Station shut down after an equipment problem on Halloween.
Energy Northwest says keeping the plant down for a week cost millions in lost power.
"Depending on the price of power, it can be worth a million dollars a day," Energy Northwest spokesman Brad Peck said. "And you can imagine just being down for a week is a significant hit."
Before last Monday's shutdown, the plant had operated for more than a year without a shutdown.
That stretch set a new record for the power plant.
