在达林顿成功升级之后,安大略省计划翻修皮克林核电厂,以满足不断增长的能源需求。 Ontario plans to refurbish the Pickering nuclear plant to meet growing energy needs, following successful upgrades at Darlington.

安大略总理道格·福特(Doug Ford)正在扭转核能的路线,在制造业和新兴产业的电力需求不断增长的情况下,推进翻修老化的皮克林工厂的计划。 Ontario Premier Doug Ford is reversing course on nuclear power, advancing plans to refurbish the aging Pickering plant amid rising electricity demand from manufacturing and emerging industries. 这一转变继在达林顿成功、及时、预算不足的翻修之后,提高了对核可靠性和成本效益的信心。 The shift follows successful, on-time, under-budget refurbishments at Darlington, boosting confidence in nuclear’s reliability and cost-effectiveness. 目前,安大略省一半电力的核供应仍然得到各方在政治上的支持,被视为维持低碳、稳定电力,如水力、风力和太阳能扩张的极限,至关重要。 Nuclear currently supplies half of Ontario’s electricity, remains politically supported across parties, and is seen as essential for maintaining low-carbon, stable power as hydro, wind, and solar expansion hits limits. 该项目可以创造成千上万的就业机会,但对于长期的可负担性以及未来政府是否会承担最终费用等问题,人们仍然感到关切。 The project could create thousands of jobs, but concerns persist over long-term affordability and whether future governments will absorb final costs.
