Bruce Power has signed separate agreements with partners in Alberta and Saskatchewan as the two provinces explore expanding nuclear power to meet rising electricity demand and strengthen long-term energy security. 

Bruce Power announced Thursday it had entered into a collaboration agreement with Energy Alberta, a private developer proposing a four-unit, 4,800-megawatt nuclear project north of Peace River. In an April 15 media release, the nuclear operator said it had signed a memorandum of understanding with SaskPower to help inform Saskatchewan’s review of large reactor technology. 

Both deals focus on sharing Bruce Power’s operational experience, planning frameworks, and lessons learned from decades of running one of the world’s largest nuclear generating stations in Bruce County. 

Bruce Power Chief Operating Officer James Scongack said the company is positioned to support provinces considering new nuclear generation.

“We will share what we’ve learned in 25 years of operating the Bruce site and in planning projects and planning for new nuclear,” Scongack said in the Saskatchewan announcement.

In Alberta, the agreement comes as the province examines nuclear power as part of a broader Canada-Alberta energy memorandum of understanding. Alberta Utilities Minister Nathan Neudorf said nuclear could help meet growing demand while supporting affordability, reliability, and emissions reduction. 

Energy Alberta CEO Scott Henuset said Bruce Power’s previous feasibility work in Alberta and current planning experience would provide valuable guidance as the company advances regulatory planning for its proposed project. Energy Alberta expects the first phase of the facility could be operating by 2035. 

In Saskatchewan, the province announced in January that it would formally assess large nuclear reactor technologies while continuing its existing small modular reactor (SMR) strategy.

Jeremy Harrison said the province’s Energy Security Strategy includes both SMRs and large reactors to prepare for future demand and export opportunities tied to electricity and critical minerals such as potash and uranium. 

Rupen Pandya said reliable baseload electricity will be critical for sectors including mining, oil and gas, and agriculture. 

Bruce Power said both agreements reflect growing interprovincial interest in nuclear power as provinces look for new sources of reliable, low-emission electricity. The company is also advancing its proposed Bruce C project, which could add up to 4,800 megawatts of new generation at its existing Ontario site.
