Being part of a community means showing up for one another - and that spirit is at the heart of Energy Alberta’s Community Cares Crew. This winter, our team volunteered 292 hours helping our neighbours across the region.
As a company, we recognize that meaningful engagement begins with listening and understanding the history of the lands and communities connected to the Peace River region. Our commitment to learning and reflection is an important part of how we approach relationship-building with Indigenous Nations and Communities.

On May 8, 2026, the government of Canada announced the launch of a discussion paper to engage Canadians on proposed reforms aimed at creating a simpler, more coordinated process for major projects. The goal is to make it clear that major projects can be built efficiently in Canada, while maintaining strong environmental protections and respecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
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.
This spring and summer, Energy Alberta is carrying out a series of environmental field studies to support planning for the proposed Peace River Nuclear Power Project. These studies are an important step in understanding the local environment and gathering the information needed to plan responsibly.

This winter and spring, Energy Alberta carried out environmental field studies to support planning for the proposed Peace River Nuclear Power Project. One of the key activities completed was a geotechnical drilling program - an important step in understanding the ground conditions at potential project sites.
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, 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.

Every successful project starts with people. Long before construction plans take shape, there are conversations to have, communities to connect with, information to gather and early work to be done. As Energy Alberta advances the Peace River Nuclear Power Project, people and businesses across the Peace Region are helping make that work possible. Together, we’re building a foundation of opportunities for individuals and businesses interested in working with us.

Student internships play an important role in developing the next generation of professionals, providing hands-on experience and a greater understanding of where their education can take them. At Energy Alberta, creating opportunities for students and emerging professionals to learn alongside experienced team members is one way we are helping build the workforce needed for Alberta's clean energy future.
