Energy Alberta is a Canadian company advancing the Peace River Nuclear Power Project in northern Alberta - a large-scale nuclear generating station designed to provide low-emission electricity to meet Western Canada’s growing energy needs.
The Project would generate up to 4,800 MW of dependable baseload power and support thousands of jobs during construction, along with hundreds of long-term roles that support regional economic growth.
Our mission is to deliver the Peace River Nuclear Power Project - helping build a more resilient and diversified energy mix for Western Canada, while creating long-term community benefits. We are committed to working with Indigenous Nations, local communities and regional partners to inform Project planning, support meaningful participation and maximize opportunities for jobs, training and local business growth.
Canada’s nuclear industry is subject to some of the strictest safety standards and regulations in the world.

On May 8, 2026, the government of Canada announced the launch of a discussion paper to engage Canadians on proposed reforms aimed at creating a simpler, more coordinated process for major projects. The goal is to make it clear that major projects can be built efficiently in Canada, while maintaining strong environmental protections and respecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
As Canada faces rising electricity demand, increasing pressure to reduce emissions and a growing need for long-term energy security, the country’s nuclear industry is stepping into a defining moment. That momentum was on full display at the Canadian Nuclear Association’s 2026 Conference - Power and Purpose.
This spring and summer, Energy Alberta is carrying out a series of environmental field studies to support planning for the proposed Peace River Nuclear Power Project. These studies are an important step in understanding the local environment and gathering the information needed to plan responsibly.
