FUSION & ADVANCED NUCLEAR POWER
Ontario has successfully completed the refurbishment of unit four at the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station ahead of schedule and C$150 million under budget, with initial power testing approved to begin on February 12. This project, which extends the station's operational life to 2055 and provides over 3,500 megawatts of power, contributed C$14.9 billion to the province's GDP and is expected to generate C$90 billion in economic benefits while supporting 14,200 jobs. Ontario is also considering additional nuclear projects, including small modular reactors and large-scale builds.
