TVO receives recognition for good production result

30.10.2015

​TVO's production volume was in 2014 the highest ever in the history of the plant. Nuclear power plant supplier GE Hitachi (GEH) presents awards every year to boiling water plants with a load factor of more than 90%. In October, both plant units were awarded in Olkiluoto for their excellent operating result.

- Exceptionally high production figures were achieved in 2014. The combined electricity production of the plant units exceeded 14 TWh, which was almost 130 000 MWh more than in the previous year, says Mr. Mikko Kosonen, TVO's Senior President for Production. The combined load factor of the plant units was 96 %.

- The excellent result is based on successful execution of annual outages and an exceptionally low number of production disruptions. TVO's staff represent the cutting edge of the nuclear field, Mr. Kosonen explains proudly.
The electricity produced in Olkiluoto covered last year about 18 percent of the electricity consumption in Finland.
