SASKATCHEWAN ADVANCES NUCLEAR POWER TO SUPPORT LONG-TERM ENERGY SECURITY
What a pleasure to join our Premier and several colleagues Tuesday in Saskatoon as Saskatchewan takes an important step toward a stronger, more secure energy future.
Our government’s new nuclear plan sets a goal of at least 2,600 MW of nuclear power by 2050, helping ensure reliable and affordable electricity for growing communities, industries and major investments.
The plan includes exploring large nuclear reactors in northwest Saskatchewan, advancing SMR development near Estevan, and building on the province’s growing nuclear expertise, skilled workforce and world-class uranium resources.
Premier Scott Moe’s strong and steady leadership is helping turn Saskatchewan’s energy potential into opportunity, strengthening energy security, attracting investment and creating jobs for generations to come.
Saskatchewan has the resources, people and opportunity to be a leader in nuclear energy!
