The start of a giant Finnish nuclear reactor that will boost supplies in the Northern corner of Europe’s stretched energy market keeps getting pushed back.
The 1,600-megawatt Olkiluoto-3 on the nation’s west coast will now start on March 15, after another delay of four days to connect it to the grid, power producer Teollisuuden Voima Oyj said. The reactor has been delayed many times from its initial 2009 start date. Regular production is slated to begin by the end of July.
