There is no better way to get to know a community than by spending time alongside the people who call it home. This spring and summer, the Energy Alberta team has travelled across the Peace Region, attending local events, celebrating community traditions and connecting with residents as planning continues for the Peace River Nuclear Power Project.
Not long ago, communities built electricity systems to support economic growth. Today, that relationship is changing. Increasingly, the availability of reliable electricity is determining where businesses invest, where industries grow and where communities thrive. As Alberta's electricity demand continues to rise, having enough dependable power will be critical to supporting the province's long-term prosperity.

Energy Alberta is taking an important step forward on the Peace River Nuclear Power Project with the launch of a collaborative Socio-Economic Working Group. As the Project advances through the federal impact assessment process, this working group will play a key role in enhancing the inclusion of local knowledge, priorities and expertise in how potential effects - and opportunities - are understood.

Building Western Canada’s energy future requires more than infrastructure - it requires investing in people. The Peace River Nuclear Power Project is designed to help power Alberta for generations to come, providing reliable, low-emission electricity for decades while also creating new career opportunities.
When President Wendy Goulet, Cadotte Lake Métis Nation, travelled to Ottawa for the recent Canadian Nuclear Association Conference, she wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. “I went there with an open mind and came away with a much bigger understanding of what the nuclear industry actually looks like,” she reflected afterward.
For President Wendy Goulet, Cadotte Lake Métis Nation, the KAIROS Blanket Exercise is about more than learning history - it’s about building relationships and understanding the people in our communities.
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.

“This is not about what each province is building. We must look at this as a nation.” That message from Energy Alberta’s Head of Power System Integration, Mike Law, set the tone for discussions on the future of Nuclear Energy during the opening panel of the 45th Annual Canadian Nuclear Society (CNS) Conference in Calgary.

Alberta is ready to lead in a new energy era - but only action will get us there. Nuclear power is no longer a distant idea for Western Canada. It is a real, viable solution gaining momentum at exactly the moment our economy, population and power demand are accelerating. The question is no longer whether nuclear belongs in Alberta’s future. It’s whether we will move fast enough to capture the opportunity in front of us.

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.

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.

At a recent event hosted at the University of Calgary, that future was on full display. Students from across engineering, environmental studies and policy programs came together to explore one of the most important questions facing the region today: how to build an electricity system that is reliable, affordable and lower in emissions.

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.
