The plans are part of the province\u0027s attempts to meet electricity demand with non\u002Demitting sources.
Energy Minister Todd Smith is announcing today that the government is looking at a new plant to generate up to 4,800 megawatts – enough to power 4.8 million homes – on the site of Bruce Power’s current generating station on the shore of Lake Huron in Tiverton, Ont.
A report late last year by the Independent Electricity System Operator found that the province could fully eliminate natural gas from the electricity system by 2050, starting with a moratorium in 2027, but it will require about $400 billion in capital spending and more generation including new, large-scale nuclear plants.Article content
Smith says Bruce Power will now start community consultations and conduct an environmental assessment for federal approval to determine the feasibility of another nuclear plant.
