Olkiluoto 3 Achieves Longest Production Period
The Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power unit achieved its longest uninterrupted production period in the company's history in May. This record was set prior to a scheduled maintenance outage.
Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) has announced that its Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power unit achieved the longest uninterrupted electricity production period in the company's history during May. This record was set before a planned maintenance outage that commenced in September.
The new nuclear unit, Finland's largest, began regular electricity production in May 2022. Its commissioning has been one of Europe's largest industrial projects. The production from Olkiluoto 3 plays a significant role in Finland's electricity generation and aims to enhance the country's energy self-sufficiency.
The company has been reporting on the unit's performance and its impacts. Previous reports have also covered the production of the Olkiluoto 1 and Olkiluoto 2 units, which have operated at reduced power due to maintenance and other reasons. TVO has also reached an agreement with Framatome regarding fuel deliveries for Olkiluoto 3.
The company continues to optimize the operations of the Olkiluoto power plant units and ensure their safety. With continued production, TVO aims to strengthen its position in the energy sector.
