#ICYMI, the Government of Canada announced a new National Electricity Strategy to increase Canada’s electricity grid capacity by 2050. Among other goals, the strategy aims to build the infrastructure needed to double Canada’s electricity generation and make more of the technologies and components powering our grid here at home.
Nuclear energy will play a key role in this strategy! Here in Ontario, the province is building the G7’s first commercial SMR at Darlington and planning to refurbish reactors at the Pickering site. This is in addition to projects from OPG and Bruce Power to construct new large-scale nuclear power generation facilities. Outside of Ontario, new nuclear projects are being considered in New Brunswick, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
As Canada’s national nuclear laboratories, CNL will help support this work, providing the necessary R&D to ensure Canada’s nuclear power stations are safe, reliable and viable. Working together with partners in government, industry, academia, and local and Indigenous communities, we will do our part to ensure a bright and more sustainable future in domestic electricity generation for Canadians. ...
