Siting Updates – Clean Energy Projects

In these interesting times, scientific discovery and the advancement of knowledge is even more relevant to our future prosperity. It is through the search for scientific answers that we will find the solutions to some of our most pressing challenges.

Addressing the global need for clean energy is one such challenge and we know the answer could be right around the corner. Our vision is to serve the world as a global hub for clean energy research and technology. This includes the siting of a demonstration projects on a CNL managed site. Through the provision of research and development and other supporting services, we are doing our part to advance this clean energy technology closer towards deployment.

In 2018, CNL announced a staged invitation process for those vendors interested in siting their demonstration projects.  At present, there are several project proponents engaged in various stages of the invitation process.

It is important to note that all projects are subject to regulatory processes and requirements. The licensing process is entirely independent of CNL’s invitation and evaluation stages. Should a project advance to a licence application, proponents will be required to undertake meaningful project engagement with the public and Indigenous communities. In the meantime, AECL and CNL continue to engage local and Indigenous communities to seek their views and input.
