Responsible development starts with understanding and respecting the environment where we plan to build. For the Peace River Nuclear Power Project, that means studying the land, water and ecosystems, and using that information to guide decisions throughout Project planning. This work will help us understand potential effects, identify ways to avoid or minimize impacts and support responsible environmental management over the long term.
Learn moreSafety is fundamental to every decision we make. Protecting people, communities and the environment will guide the Project through every stage - from early planning and design to construction, operations and eventual decommissioning.
