Alberta's Darlington New Nuclear Project Gets Green Light as National Priority
The Darlington New Nuclear Project in Ontario has been designated as a project of national importance under the newly enacted Building Canada Act on September 11, 2025. This move aims to expedite the regulatory approval process for the project, which is set to develop a nuclear energy industry in Alberta.
The Government of Alberta launched its Nuclear Energy Engagement on August 25, 2025, marking the beginning of a two-phase engagement process. The first phase, currently underway, is gathering input from Albertans, Indigenous communities, and stakeholders through an online survey and a Request for Information (RFI). The survey, open until September 25, 2025, targets laypersons and seeks their familiarity with nuclear energy, perceived benefits, and top concerns.
The RFI, open until October 25, 2025, is targeted towards power industry organizations. It aims to gather information about their current or envisioned future role in Alberta's nuclear energy industry, along with potential benefits, challenges, and recommendations for the government. This phase is crucial for developing a comprehensive nuclear roadmap and regulatory framework to support an Albertan nuclear energy industry.
The Darlington New Nuclear Project, now under the Building Canada Act, is poised to bring significant changes to Alberta's energy landscape. With the first phase of engagement underway, the project is set to inform the development of a robust nuclear roadmap and regulatory framework, paving the way for a sustainable and efficient nuclear energy industry in the province.
