Evidence detail

Target: construction, July 2025

Original schedule in the 2023 construction permit application (earliest construction start; first unit completion July–December 2027)

A stated target, not something that has happened. It does not set a state. Targets can move; earlier and later ones are both kept.

“According to the application, the earliest start date for construction of Hermes 2 is expected to be July 2025 with the first unit projected to be completed by July 2027 at the earliest and December 2027 at the latest.”
