Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has announced funds of up to CAD50m ($36.8m) to support Ontario’s plan to maintain a clean energy grid while continuing to drive economic development and support Indigenous and community consultation. The funds will support pre-development work to study the feasibility new nuclear build at the Bruce Power site. This is in line with the federal government’s Powering Canada Forward plan.

Over the last several years evidence has been mounting that a large expansion of nuclear energy capacity is indispensable for keeping global warning within 1.5°C limits. Multiple studies have confirmed that, contrary to the claims by “all-renewables” zealots, no single group of technologies can enable a timely and cost-efficient energy transition, and a diversified energy mix of low-carbon sources, including both intermittent renewables and nuclear, is needed to achieve net-zero by 2050. The most recent estimates suggest that the global nuclear energy installed capacity needs to increase 2.5-3 times from the current 370 GW to between 916 GWe and 1,160 GW by 2050.
