How much did Darlington Nuclear Generating Station cost to build?

The Darlington Nuclear Generating Station is the four-unit CANDU nuclear plant on Lake Ontario at Clarington, Ontario, Canada, of about 3,500 MW, built by Ontario Hydro with its final unit placed into service on 14 June 1993 and now operated by Ontario Power Generation. A response of Ontario Power Generation in a 2014 regulatory proceeding gives the total capital cost incurred by Ontario Hydro to complete the station as 14,319 million Canadian dollars.
