Ontario Power Generation has commenced an extensive refurbishment project at the Pickering nuclear power plant. This undertaking is described as "Canada’s largest clean energy infrastructure project."
The refurbishment is designed to prolong the operating lifetimes of the facility’s four CANDU reactors. This extension could be for as long as 38 years. The project is also expected to bolster Ontario’s nuclear supply chain.
Illinois aims to add 2 GW of new nuclear capacity, with construction slated to begin by 2033. This target includes both new reactor sites and uprates to existing facilities. The state recently removed its final restrictions on building new reactors, paving the way for this expansion.
Currently, Illinois leads the United States in operating nuclear capacity, with 11 commercial reactors in operation. The state's nuclear future was a key topic in a recent webinar series, highlighting its strategic importance in the national energy landscape.
