Ontario Nuclear Expansion Plan

Planned

Ontario's government has released the Energy for Generations blueprint, outlining significant expansion plans for nuclear power to meet increasing energy needs and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The plan includes building new nuclear capacity equivalent to five Darlington stations, aiming for nuclear to provide over 70% of Ontario's electricity by 2050. The government is seeking investment from Canadian pension funds and institutional investors and is exploring new ownership models and equity partnerships to finance the expansion. Engagement with First Nations and local communities is ongoing, and a technology advisory panel will guide project decisions.
