World’s largest nuclear facility could be built in Ontario with new $300M deal

The cost-sharing deal will fund consultations, workforce planning and site preparation for a plant that could generate 4,800 megawatts.

  • On Thursday, Ontario Energy Minister Stephen Lecce announced a $300 million cost-sharing agreement with Bruce Power to launch early development work for the proposed Bruce C nuclear project.
  • Ontario faces an electricity demand increase of up to 90 per cent by 2050, prompting the government to pursue the first large-scale nuclear expansion in over 30 years.
  • Economic projections suggest the project could contribute about $238 billion to Canada's GDP while creating roughly 18,900 construction jobs and adding 4,800 megawatts of capacity.
  • The Saugeen Ojibway Nation said Tuesday it has not made a decision on Bruce C, but emphasized that consultations must respect their right to consent or withhold consent.
  • Federal Impact Assessment work is expected to conclude by 2028, with pre-development activities including workforce planning and site preparation scheduled to be completed by 2030.
