Darlington Nuclear Rebuild: Canada Delivers Early and On Budget
The decade-long refurbishment of the four-unit Darlington nuclear plant, a project of global significance, has concluded four months ahead of schedule and $110 million under budget. This completion marks the end of the world’s largest nuclear refurbishment, extending the plant’s operational life to 2055. Ontario Power Generation also holds provincial and national approvals for further nuclear advancements, including the refurbishment of the Pickering station and the construction of the first of four small modular reactors at Darlington. These initiatives underscore a commitment to nuclear power as a vital component of Canada’s energy future and a demonstration of successful, efficient project execution.
