When Energy Alberta’s President & CEO joined Global’s Shaye Ganam on-air, the conversation wasn’t about long-term hypotheticals. It was about the very real question Alberta is facing right now:

How do we keep our province powered as demand accelerates faster than our electricity grid can keep up?

Alberta has never been shy about building big things. Our economy is growing, industries are expanding and people continue to choose this province as their home. But our electricity system wasn’t built for the kind of growth we’re experiencing today - or the growth that’s coming.

In the interview, Scott Henuset explained why nuclear energy has to be part of the solution. Nuclear brings something Alberta urgently needs: large-scale, dependable power that can anchor the grid no matter what the weather, the season, or the market is doing.

The proposed Peace River Nuclear Power Project is about far more than boosting supply - it’s about powering Alberta’s future. It would provide the reliable energy needed to support growing communities and industries, while offering stable, predictable power costs in a province long shaped by commodity swings.

This is the moment for bold thinking - the kind Alberta has always been known for.
