The Pickering Nuclear power plant has a power rating of 2100 MW. How much energy can the

generating station produce in one day?

1 answer

To calculate the energy produced by the Pickering Nuclear power plant in one day, we need to multiply its power rating by the number of hours in a day.

The power rating is given as 2100 MW, which stands for 2100 megawatts.

One day has 24 hours.

Therefore, the energy produced in one day is:
2100 MW * 24 hours/day

Calculating this expression:
(2100 MW) * (24 hours/day) = 50,400 MWh (megawatt-hours)

Therefore, the Pickering Nuclear power plant can produce 50,400 megawatt-hours of energy in one day.
