Sask. pursuing nuclear power for energy security – 620 CKRM

May 29, 2026

SASKATOON — Crown Investments Corp. Minister Jeremy Harrison says nuclear power is a realistic and pragmatic path for meeting Saskatchewan’s growing energy needs and strengthening the province’s long-term energy security.

Harrison, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, May 27, during the Saskatchewan First Nations Energy & Natural Resource Forum at Prairieland Park, said the province remains in the early stages of building a nuclear energy industry.

“We’re really on the ground floor of nuclear power deployment. We’re working in partnership on both small modular reactors and, potentially, large-scale nuclear facilities. This is a part of the energy security strategy,” said Harrison.
