Energy Alberta has reached an important milestone in the development of the proposed Peace River Nuclear Power Project, as the Project moves into the next phase of Canada’s federal regulatory process with the commencement of an Impact Assessme
April 16, 2026 – Calgary, Alberta – Energy Alberta, a private-sector developer advancing the first major nuclear energy project in Alberta, has entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Bruce Power.
Across Canada, the conversation about how energy projects engage with Indigenous Nations and Communities is changing. What once focused primarily on short-term benefits, has evolved into something much deeper - long-term partnerships that create lasting economic opportunities and shared prosperity.
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.
Water is one of our most important natural resources - and protecting it is central to how Energy Alberta is approaching the proposed Peace River Nuclear Power Project. From early planning through to operations, careful water management will be built into every step, with a clear focus on safeguarding the Peace River watershed and the communities and ecosystems that depend on it.
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.

Energy Alberta carried out important field studies in July and August as part of the early planning work for the proposed Peace River Nuclear Power Project. These studies are a critical step in ensuring the Project is developed safely, responsibly and with respect for the local environment and communities.

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.

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.
