19.7.2018

​ The Olkiluoto 1 plant unit is to be synchronised to the grid on Thursday, 19 July, at 22:00 o’clock.

Full power level will be achieved at the plant unit at the beginning of next week. The synchronisation of the Olkiluoto 2 plant unit to the national grid has been delayed. The plant unit will be synchronised to the grid on Friday, 20 July, and the plant unit will reach full power level by the beginning of next week.

The Olkiluoto plant units were disconnected from the national grid as a result of the fire of a current transformer in the switchyard of Fingrid on Wednesday, 18 July. The reconnection of the plant units to the grid will take place after Fingrid has completed its repair activities.
