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.
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?
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.
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.

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.
