The capacity factors
At the top of the international league
One illustration of the nuclear power expertise at TVO can be found in the high capacity factors of the Olkiluoto power plant units, which have for a long time been at the top of the league by international comparison. From the beginning of the 1990s, the capacity factors of OL1 and OL2 have varied between 93 and 97 per cent.
High capacity factors testify to the reliable running of the power plant units. This has been achieved by keeping the units as good as new through annual outages, expert running and constant improvement of everyday operations and safety.
