Bruce Power and SaskPower have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to share knowledge across nuclear generation, project development and long-term operations. The agreement will support the Government of Saskatchewan as it formally evaluates the deployment of large nuclear reactor technologies, a process running alongside the province's existing small modular reactor (SMR) development.
Most of Canada’s nuclear supply chain is currently concentrated in Ontario. This MoU aims to leverage Bruce Power’s operational experience to help align federal and provincial strategies. SaskPower will benefit directly from lessons learned during the early stages of the proposed Bruce C project, which is exploring the addition of up to 4,800MW of new nuclear capacity and is the first new Canadian nuclear development to enter the federal impact assessment process.
SaskPower Chief Executive Officer Rupen Pandya highlighted the economic necessity of the partnership. 'Power is a key economic driver in Saskatchewan that's needed to advance critical sectors such as mining, oil and gas and agriculture,' he said.
