Olkiluoto 2's electricity production will be supended for an estimated three weeks
Electricity production at the Olkiluoto 2 (OL2) plant unit was interrupted on Monday, September 9, due to an increase in moisture detected in the turbine plant's generator. Troubleshooting has begun.
According to the best current estimate, OL2's electricity production can resume at the earliest on September 29. This estimate is based on TVO's previous experience with generator faults, but it may be updated as troubleshooting progresses. Investigation of the issue has begun
OL2's nominal capacity is 890 MW. The share of electricity produced by OL2 in Finland's total electricity consumption is approximately 8 percent. At Olkiluoto, the OL1 and OL3 plant units are operating normally.
