see a $300 million upgrade to allow Pickering to run for approximately another
decade, as well as the intention to refurbish the four reactors at Darlington,

officials say firm costs can't be known until preliminary studies, set to be
carried out over the next four years, determine the scope of work to be
completed during the refurbishment. Rough, very preliminary estimates indicate
refurbishment of Darlington's four nuclear reactors, to extend their generation
capability to about 2050, will cost $6 billion to $10 billion, says
Infrastructure and Energy Minister Brad Duguid. <o:p></o:p></p>

news release, the restart of Pickering A Unit #1 was completed on time and on
budget. This is not true! In 1999, OPG estimated that the total cost of
returning Pickering A Unit #1 to service would be $213 million.  Its
actual cost was 4.8 times greater at $1.016 billion. Looks like OPG is up to
its old tricks of deceiving the tax-paying public. If they want to upgrade
Pickering and refurbish Darlington, they should be upfront with the costs
– no more low-balling, leaving Ontario’s electricity consumers to
cover the inevitable cost overruns. Ontario Energy Minister Brad Duguid should
demand that the bids for the Pickering upgrade and Darlington refurbishment be
a fixed-price one – that is, any cost overruns must not be passed on to
Ontario’s electricity consumers or taxpayers.  This is the rule that
former Energy Minister George Smitherman established for the procurement
process for two new nuclear reactors at Darlington. As a result Atomic Energy
of Canada (AECL) was forced to submit an honest price bid that reflected the
true cost. When Smitherman saw AECL’s honest $26 billion price tag, he
had sticker shock and cancelled the procurement process. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
