Bruce Power Unit 1 Back Online

Bruce Power’s Unit 1 is back in service ahead of schedule after a planned 38-day maintenance outage.

The outage ended March 9.

It was the first planned maintenance outage performed in Unit 1 since it was brought back to life after a refurbishment that was the first of its kind.

The unit had been experiencing a record run of 99 days when it was removed from service for the $58-million investment.

Unit 6 will enter a planned maintenance outage in early-April, and then the entire Bruce 'B' station will be taken out of service for about a month for the Vacuum Building Outage, which is a regulatory requirement and occurs about every ten years.
