Bruce Power announced its Unit 3 has been removed from service as of March 1st to begin its Major Component Replacement outage.
The unit is expected to return to service in 2026. The planned outage is part of the refurbishment of Units 3 to 8 to permit the eight-unit site to continue to provide electricity and cancer-fighting medical isotopes through 2064.
Bruce Power says Unit 6, the first to be refurbished as part of the project, is on-track to return to service later this year.
Unit 1 & 2 at the site were completed and brought back online in 2012.
Currently Bruce Power generates 6,550 megawatts of electricity but it is expected to increase to 7,000 megawatts in the 2030s.
