An updated schedule for the Olkiluoto-3 EPR plant under construction in Finland said fuel will be loaded into the reactor in March 2021, the unit will be connected to the grid in October of the same year and regular electricity production will begin in February 2022.
The schedule means there has been no change since the last updated schedule released in August. It means construction of the 1,600-MW Generation III plant, which began in August 2005, is about 10 years behind schedule.
