POHJOLAN VOIMA OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 3 FEB 2022
Pohjolan Voima Oyj's joint venture Teollisuuden Voima Oyj announces: OL3 EPR’s electricity production starts at the end of February
Pohjolan Voima Oyj's joint venture Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) has announced that the OL3 EPR plant unit’s electricity production starts at the end of February, and regular electricity production starts in July 2022. The start of electricity production is postponed due to modification needs observed during the test production phase.
At the test production phase of a nuclear power plant, the plant unit and its safety systems are tested to verify that the plant operations comply with design. During the OL3 plant unit’s test production phase, it was observed that there is a need for modifications in the plant unit’s automation related to control functions, as well as further testing related to the modifications. Corrective measures are under way, but they cause a delay in the test production programme.
The production forecast for the test production phase can be followed in more detail on TVO’s website at www.tvo.fi/ol3forecast.
