UK-based EDF Energy has restarted output from two nuclear power plants, with a combined generation capacity of 1,200MW.
EDF said its 600-MW Sizewell B1 reactor returned to service several days ahead of schedule on Sunday after an electrical fault automatically shut the site's reactor and turbines on March 2.
The company's 620-MW Hartlepool 1 reactor resumed outputting power on Tuesday following a manual shutdown at the beginning of the month, it added.
Hartlepool 1 was scheduled to resume output on April 5. Sizewell B1 was expected back on April 12.
