Evidence detail

Target: commercial operation, 2030

Start of operations of the redesigned single-reactor Hermes 2 (stated as 'begin operations')

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

“To accelerate the delivery of clean energy to Google, Kairos Power will increase Hermes 2’s output from 28 MW to 50 MW generated by a single reactor, scheduled to begin operations in 2030.”
