Ontario Power Generation (OPG) yesterday refuted claims by Ontario Clean Air Alliance that the Darlington refurbishment project was delayed and over-budget.
“Stephen Lecce [Ontario Energy Minister] says Darlington was ‘on budget and ahead of schedule’ [see below]. OPG’s own filings say it’s at least 25 per cent over budget and needs 6 more years. The truth matters,” said the alliance.
In response, OPG said: “False. With construction completed, OPG’s $12.8 billion Darlington Refurbishment is returning to service ahead of schedule and under budget.
“The additional work you mention was never part of the refurbishment project – rather, like any piece of critical infrastructure, Darlington will continue to receive ongoing investment and maintenance to ensure safe and efficient operation,” it said.
