#HydroQuébec considers reopening #Gentilly2 #nuclear power station
by Philip Authier, August 10, 2023
QUEBEC – "Hydro-Québec is currently studying the possibility of reopening the mothballed Gentilly-2 nuclear plant in #Bécancour to boost #Quebec’s available power resources in the face of soaring demand.
"On Thursday, Hydro officials confirmed the news, first reported by the Journal de Montréal .
"'Concerning the Gentilly-2 station, an evaluation on the current state of the station is underway, to evaluate our options and to feed our reflection on Quebec’s future energy offering,' the utility said in a statement to the Montreal Gazette.
"The new CEO of Hydro-Québec, #MichaelSabia, is already on the record saying he has 'an open mind (on future options) given the context of a strong increase in demand,' the statement added.
"'We are evaluating different possible options to increase the production of clean electricity. It would be irresponsible at this time to exclude certain energy sectors.'
"In 2012, the #PartiQuébécois government endorsed a recommendation from Hydro-Québec to close Gentilly-2, a #CANDU reactor, mainly owing to the high costs of upgrading the installation. It cost Hydro-Québec $80 million to shut down the plant.
"With a capacity of 675 megawatts, the Gentilly-2 reactor started producing power in 1981."

''Ce fut un réel plaisir de rencontrer la délégation de parlementaires écossais en visite au Québec! Nous avons eu l'occasion de discuter de plusieurs sujets, dont ceux de l'indépendance et de la démocratie.
Merci à #AlisonJohnstone présidente du parlement écossais accompagnée de Mme #ColletteStevenson et de M. #FinlayCarson.'' - Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, #PartiQuébécois
