Nope. ~6 cents/kWh. Just like the other nuke plants in Ontario.
… plus how much “debt retirement charge”?
… and how much for fuel disposal?
… and how much for insurance?
I’d love to see how that price is maintained considering Pickering nuclear units among the most expensive, least reliable in the world.
