Energy Alberta is dedicated to fostering enduring, respectful relationships with Indigenous Nations and Communities that contribute to enabling Indigenous self-determination, sustainable development and lasting economic opportunities. We are guided by principles that will help guide our engagement with Indigenous Nations and Communities, including:
Energy Alberta cares deeply about environmental stewardship and promoting sustainable water management practices to minimize the impact of our proposed operations on local water resources and protect the Peace River watershed.
The proposed Project would be built on the shoreline of the Peace River, one of the largest rivers in Alberta, and would involve drawing water from the river to use for cooling and other processes required for safe operations. Advanced technology will be utilized to recycle the cooling water and reduce the amount of water needed.
The water management process in nuclear power plants is highly regulated to ensure effective conservation and stewardship. Significant efforts would be undertaken to protect the habitat of the local watershed, including rigorous environmental programs that monitor, track and analyze surrounding ecosystems to safeguard the health of people and the environment.

Canadian nuclear power plants are subject to some of the strictest health, safety and environmental standards in the world. Energy Alberta is committed to the safe disposal of nuclear waste using proven technology to mitigate any potential risks associated with the management and storage of nuclear waste. Our facility would adhere to the robust regulations and best practices set by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and international regulators to ensure all forms of conventional and nuclear waste are handled in a safe, secure and responsible manner.

Nuclear power is the only readily scalable, low-emission energy source capable of delivering reliable and affordable electricity around the clock.
Learn about the ProjectNuclear power is one of Canada’s safest and cleanest energy sources and offers one of the best ways to meet Alberta’s constant and growing electricity demands.
Nuclear power plants operate around the clock, in any weather, providing a constant, stable and affordable source of electricity that is readily scalable.
Nuclear energy produces virtually zero greenhouse gas emissions during operation, making it a critical tool in combating climate change.
In today’s uncertain global energy market, nuclear power provides stability and a pathway to energy independence.

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.
