Narrative:

I was informed by the ZZZ tower that I had 'gotten too close' to the power plant and that I needed to call the TRACON. I am based at ZZZ locally. After landing I immediately called the TRACON and was informed of my actions. I gave the supervisor all my information and he then told me that a pilot deviation was going to be prepared against me. He also asked was I aware of the temporary NOTAM and I confirmed that I was, and that if there had been an error on my part it had been my attempt to visually discern a 10 NM distance from the power plant through dense haze.
