Province looking to extend life of Pickering Nuclear Station

The Province is planning on extending the life of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station by one year and also investigating if there is a way to operate it for another 3 decades in order to meet energy demands in the future.

The Pickering Nuclear Station is reported to have provided 14% of what electricity the province used last year.

A study on the feasibility of a long-term extension is said to require complete refurbishment of the site.

The study is expected to completed next year.
