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.
On September 27, people around the world will mark World Rivers Day - an opportunity to recognize the extraordinary value of rivers and the importance of protecting them for the future. For Energy Alberta, it’s also an opportunity to celebrate a river that is central to the region where we are planning the Peace River Nuclear Power Project.
Every year on June 5, World Environment Day encourages people around the globe to consider how we can protect our environment while building a sustainable future for generations to come. As conversations about climate change, energy security and economic growth continue, one question is becoming increasingly important: how do we reduce emissions while ensuring communities and industries have access to the reliable electricity they need?

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.
When people think about nuclear energy, one of the first questions they often ask is: How much does it cost? It's an important question - but it's also one that deserves a broader conversation. Like any major infrastructure project, the value of nuclear energy isn't measured by upfront capital costs alone. It's measured over decades of reliable electricity generation, long-term economic benefits and the lasting impact it can have on communities, workers and businesses.

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.

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.

“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.
