The province’s Ontario Power Generation (OPG) utility disclosed in quarterly financial filings that the 300-megawatt reactor at its Darlington power station won’t be operational by 2030 and that building it will cost more than the $7.7 billion allotted. OPG hopes to have an idea of the new schedule and budget by the middle of 2027, it said. (The Logic)
Talking point: The reactor is the first of its kind for its maker, GE Vernova Hitachi, and “ongoing engineering” is responsible for the delay, OPG said. Ontario intends to have four at Darlington eventually (some of the $7.7-billion budget for the first is to cover infrastructure that they’ll share); the first is heavily supported by both provincial and federal money. Construction on another is approved in Tennessee, more are planned for Poland and other countries are eyeing them, too.
