Will become ‘largest nuclear expansion on the continent that will help put 150,000 Canadians to work,’ says energy minister
Ontario has approved early work on the Bruce C Nuclear Project that is expected to create 18,900 jobs during construction and 6,700 once the facility is operational.
The Ontario government has directed the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to enter into a cost-sharing and recovery agreement with Bruce Power to advance predevelopment work on Bruce C, the first large-scale nuclear build in Ontario in more than 30 years. The agreement covers First Nations and community engagement, workforce planning, and pre-construction and site preparation activities, which the province says will cost $300 million and are expected to be completed by 2030.
