Canada’s energy future should be built in Canada.
Powering Canada's Energy Future
For more than 60 years, CANDU has powered Canadian communities and helped build one of the world’s leading nuclear industries. Today, 17 CANDU reactors deliver reliable, emissions-free electricity while supporting thousands of skilled workers and a coast-to-coast Canadian supply chain.
As electricity demand grows, Canada has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to strengthen energy security, grow our economy and export Canadian technology to the world.
Ontario
Ontario’s nuclear leadership began with a bold commitment to Canadian innovation. As the birthplace of CANDU technology, the province developed and deployed a homegrown nuclear solution that helped power economic growth, strengthen energy security and establish Canada as a global leader in nuclear expertise.
Today, Ontario’s CANDU fleet at Pickering, Bruce and Darlington provides approximately half of the province’s electricity and the majority of its emissions-free power. Over decades of successful operation and refurbishments, Ontario has built a world-class nuclear industry rooted in Canadian engineering, Canadian uranium and a highly skilled workforce.
As electricity demand grows and plans for new large-scale nuclear generation advance, Ontario faces one of the most consequential energy decisions in its history.
The reactors chosen today will shape the province’s electricity system, industrial capabilities and economic competitiveness for generations.
Ontario can build on a proven Canadian technology and the domestic expertise it helped create, or it can rely on technologies developed elsewhere.
The decision will help determine not only Ontario’s energy future, but Canada’s long-term energy sovereignty.
New Brunswick
Home to Point Lepreau, New Brunswick has demonstrated the value of CANDU technology for more than four decades. As Atlantic Canada’s only operating nuclear generating station, Point Lepreau has provided reliable, emissions-free electricity while supporting high-skilled jobs, regional economic growth and long-term energy security.
The successful refurbishment of Point Lepreau extended the station’s operating life for decades, showcasing Canadian nuclear expertise and reinforcing the long-term value of investing in Canadian technology.
Today, the station remains a cornerstone of New Brunswick’s electricity system and an important contributor to the province’s economic competitiveness.
Point Lepreau also demonstrates that CANDU technology can successfully support energy security and economic growth beyond Ontario, helping strengthen Canada’s position as a global nuclear leader.
As New Brunswick considers future nuclear development, it is uniquely positioned to build on its strengths while creating jobs, attracting investment and strengthening Canada’s long-term energy sovereignty.
Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan already powers the world through its uranium resources. The next opportunity is to help power Canada through nuclear energy built on Canadian expertise, Canadian workers and Canadian technology.
As the world’s second-largest producer of uranium and home to a highly skilled mining, manufacturing and resource workforce, Saskatchewan already plays a critical role in the global nuclear industry. The province is uniquely positioned to become Canada’s next major nuclear jurisdiction and a cornerstone of the country’s future energy security, economic growth and nuclear leadership.
In January 2026, the Government of Saskatchewan and SaskPower announced plans to formally evaluate large-scale nuclear reactor technologies as part of the province’s long-term electricity strategy. The decision will help shape Saskatchewan’s energy future for generations.
The opportunity ahead is about more than meeting growing electricity demand. It is about creating jobs, attracting investment, strengthening supply chains and building on Canada’s position as a global nuclear leader.
As Saskatchewan evaluates its options, it faces an important choice: build on Canadian technology, Canadian resources and Canadian expertise, or rely on technologies developed elsewhere.
Saskatchewan’s uranium already helps power the world. The opportunity now is to help power Canada’s future with Canadian technology.
Alberta
Alberta has powered Canada’s economy for generations. The next opportunity is to help power Alberta’s future with Canadian nuclear technology.
As one of the world’s leading energy-producing jurisdictions, Alberta understands the importance of reliable, affordable and secure energy. With growing electricity demand, expanding industrial activity and increasing interest in new energy infrastructure, the province is evaluating how nuclear energy could support long-term economic growth and energy security.
Alberta is home to a highly skilled workforce, world-class engineering expertise and a deep industrial supply chain. These strengths position the province to play a major role in Canada’s next generation of nuclear development.
As Alberta explores nuclear energy, the choice ahead is about more than adding new sources of electricity. It is about where jobs are created, where expertise is developed, and how Canada builds the industrial capabilities needed to compete in an increasingly uncertain world.
As Alberta evaluates nuclear energy, it faces the same question confronting Canada: build on Canadian technology and Canadian expertise or rely on technologies developed elsewhere.
Alberta helped build Canada’s energy economy. It can help build Canada’s nuclear future.
