Feb 2, 2026 - Darlington nuclear power station set to reopen ahead of schedule


Ontario`s energy minister says the Ford government is seeing through its future plans on nuclear energy.
Stephen Lecce announced Monday that refurbishment work at the Darlington Power Plant near Oshawa is complete and just about ready for service.
Lecce says the entire $12.8 billion project is four months ahead of schedule and $150 million under budget as well.
However, Ontario`s green party believes the province`s all-in approach on nuclear, won`t make energy more affordable for Ontarians.
“We have the opportunity to be an energy superpower on the global stage and people look for expertise of our people here in Ontario,” said Ontario Labour Minister David Piccini.
Ontario`s plans for expanding its nuclear power capabilities appear to be on track after the province says the revitalization of the Darlington power plant is complete and built-to-last until 2055.
“Darlington`s unit 4 construction is complete and returning to service, four months ahead of schedule, with the full Darlington refurbishment $150 million under budget,” said Lecce.
