Production at Finland’s fleet of five commercial nuclear power plants fell in 2024 – the result of a number of unplanned disruptions and maintenance outages.
The two-unit Loviisa nuclear power station produced 7.9 TWh of electricity in 2024, down from 8.09 TWh in 2023, owner and operator Fortum said. This accounted for about 10% of the electricity consumed in Finland.
The three-unit Olkiluoto produced an estimated 23.26 TWh of electricity, down from 24.67 TWh in 2023, according to owner and operator Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO). This was about 30% of the electricity consumed in Finland.
The combined load factor of both Loviisa plants was 88.3%, down from 91.06%. The load factor of Loviisa-1 was 86.6% and of Loviisa-2 was 90.0%.
