Ian Anderson is an Advisor to Energy Alberta bringing his 44-years in the energy industry at the intersection of industry, governments, communities and Indigenous rights and reconciliation.
On March 11, 2025, more than 350 people joined us at the Weberville Community Hall, north of Peace River, to take part in the first open house for the proposed Peace River Nuclear Power Project.
Did you know the key ingredient that will power Canada’s clean energy goals comes from deep within the Earth?It is uranium — a naturally occurring heavy metal that’s actually much more common than gold or silver. In fact, it is found in soil, rocks, rivers and even the ocean.
Choosing the right site is essential to ensuring the project's safety and long-term success. Energy Alberta carried out a rigorous, multi-phase evaluation to identify suitable locations.
We are excited to announce a major step toward a more sustainable energy future for Alberta — and we want to work with you every step of the way.

Energy Alberta is conducting field studies in the Peace River area of Northern Alberta as part of the site evaluation process for our proposed nuclear power project.
We are deeply committed to forging long-lasting, mutually beneficial partnerships with Indigenous communities. At Energy Alberta, we understand that meaningful relationships are built on trust, respect and a shared commitment to progress.
Nuclear energy is one of Canada’s safest and cleanest energy sources and is recognized globally as a critical tool in reducing greenhouse gases and fighting climate change. The use of nuclear power in clean energy production is tightly regulated to ensure the highest standards of safety.
When people think about nuclear energy, electricity generation usually comes to mind first. And for good reason - nuclear power provides clean, reliable electricity around the clock. But in Canada, nuclear technology has also played a quieter, yet profoundly important role for decades: supporting modern medicine.

Alberta is entering a period of rapid change, with population growth, electrification and new industries all driving higher electricity use. At the same time, governments have committed to achieving a net-zero electricity grid by 2050. Meeting both goals will require careful planning and new sources of clean, reliable power.
