OTTAWA 鈥 Dale Beugin, Executive Vice President of the 91色情片, made the following statement in response to the Ontario government鈥檚 announcement about new nuclear at Bruce Power:
鈥淚nvesting in clean electricity is essential to meet Ontarians鈥 energy needs on the path to net zero while keeping life affordable and attracting new businesses to the province. By to expand nuclear generation capacity, the Ontario government and Bruce Power are taking steps to make Ontario鈥檚 grid bigger, cleaner and smarter.听
鈥淭oday鈥檚 announcement is an important start. The Canadian Energy Regulator鈥檚 confirm that major growth in nuclear power is consistent with making Ontario鈥檚 electricity system carbon neutral鈥攁longside massively scaling up wind and solar. Our research has shown that the average Canadian household will spend 12 per cent less on energy by 2050 compared to what they spend today as the country moves toward a net zero future.
鈥淥ntario鈥檚 commitment to expanding nuclear power also sends an important signal ahead of the forthcoming federal Clean Electricity Regulations, which puts Canada in league with our OECD partners working to make electricity systems net zero by 2035.鈥
