Comment Comment by fedecaccia There are two completely different businesses.OL3 will generate ~745 TWh over his life, from a total investment of ~€11bn.Loviisa life extension will generate ~170 TWH, from an investment of ~€1bn.Considering the capacity factor, we are comparing 6€/MWh for Loviisa against ~15€/MWh for OL3.So, it is worth mentioning that extending the life of an existing power plant can be a really good investment.Main difference is in initial setup/concrete installment!!You can review all the maths using data from OL3 here: https://reactoratlas.com/en?y=2026&s=finland-olkiluoto-nucle... parent fedecaccia 1 month ago
