We’re committed to achieving a net-zero greenhouse gas emission power system by 2050 or earlier. To achieve this, we’re exploring a range of low and non-carbon emitting power options, including nuclear power from small modular reactors (SMR).
Nuclear power doesn’t produce greenhouse gas emissions during generation and one SMR can provide power to 300,000 homes 24/7, all year long.
While we won’t make our final investment decision to build a SMR facility until 2029, planning must happen now. There are several years of project development, licensing and regulatory work required.
We expect nuclear power generation to play a major role in providing safe and reliable power to our customers in the future. We’ve selected our preferred reactor technology and narrowed our search for a site down to 2 near the City of Estevan:
- Boundary Dam Reservoir within the RM of Estevan
- Rafferty Reservoir in the RM of Cambria.
