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.
Energy Alberta was proud to participate in the SMR Canada Summit 2025, contributing to a panel discussion on the Peace River Nuclear Power Project.
In March, Energy Alberta had the opportunity to meet with the Peace River business community to share information about the Peace RiverNuclear Power Project and hear directly from local business leaders.
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.
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.

“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.

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.
