The KKG is the first nuclear power plant of 1000 MW class in Switzerland. The gross power rating was increased from an initial 970 megawatts twice through expansion projects (1992 to 990MW and in 1996 to today's value) and amounted in 2009 to 1020MW. Through efficiency-enhancing measures such as optimized blades at the high pressure turbine, an improved water separation after the high pressure turbine and new cooling tower installations with better cooling effect, the electric power could be increased to 1,035 megawatts, without altering the nuclear power.
