Here just the extra costs of fixing the old nuclear powerplant would have been an estimated price of 16c/kw/h like 15 years ago.
Always assume government projects cost twice as much as claimed, if taxpayers are lucky...
The only reason there was a project to refresh the outdated nuclear powerplant ( with outdated tech too ) was to keep the federal government, with its own patented (outdated) tech involved in our electricity suupply. Lobbyist worked hard to try and get that. It failed.
We have a ''bedrock'' of hydro-electric power supply sufficient for 95%+ of our needs. The government likes to whine we need to import during one or two nights a year to legitimize... Private-Public partnerships for... wind farms. Lol.
Fact is those juicy import contracts are an occasion for them to network and grease paws. If they really cared they would force the company owning the natural gas powerplant that was never put to use, to produce electricity during high demand. Instead we pay them to do nothing with it ( because nobody wanted that powerplant and the corrupt liberals sneaked that in behind people's back putting us before the Fait Accompli.)
They thing the voters are idiots. They aren't wrong.
