FRANKFURT: E.ON has received permission to restart its north Germany reactor Brokdorf later on Thursday at half load, the German utility said in a statement.
The plant was taken offline on Aug. 7 due to a fault detected in a transformer.
Normally, it has capacity of 1,480 MW but it will produce a maximum 700 MW for the time being as one transformer is being exchanged.
A second transformer is scheduled to be installed in four to five weeks when another stoppage will be necessary, followed by a resumption of full load.
