Sustainability

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.

Throughout the summer and fall of 2025 we will begin an extensive series of environmental studies to ensure we fully understand the ecosystems, land, water, wildlife and communities that surround the proposed locations.

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.
