Olkiluoto 2 will return to electricity production in October, initially with insufficient power

The Olkiluoto 2 plant unit will return to electricity production on October 6, initially with insufficient power after the installation of the spare rotor. Inform about it The power of industry (TWO).

The electricity production of the plant unit will initially continue at a lower power level of 725 MW, while the full power of the plant unit is 890 MW according to TVO.

OL2’s electricity production was interrupted in mid-September due to a rise in humidity detected at the turbine plant’s generator.

Power has been limited because, according to TVO, the cause of the failure is still unclear.

Power restrictions are expected to last for several months.

The rotor now being installed on OL2 is the last available spare part rotor in TVO’s stock.

Therefore, as a result of conservative analyses, the electricity production of the plant unit is continued at a lower power level.

The electricity production of Olkiluoto 1 and Olkiluoto 3 continues as normal.
