World’s largest nuclear facility could be built in Ontario

The Ontario government is moving ahead on a cost-sharing agreement worth up to $300 million to advance the construction of a new nuclear generating station at the Bruce Power site in Kincardine, Ont., CP24 has learned. The deal between the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) – the Crown corporation responsible for operating Ontario’s electricity market – and Bruce Power would lay the groundwork for the construction of the new facility, a project known as Bruce C. The government says the deal is a “major step” toward a project that will eventually make the Bruce site the largest nuclear generating facility in the world. It would also be Ontario’s first large-scale nuclear project in over 30 years. The agreement would help fund a variety of work, such as pre-construction and site preparation planning, workforce planning and engagement with First Nations and the wider community.
