Bruce Power: Net Zero by 2027
- Bruce Power will be the first nuclear operator in North America with such an ambitious commitment.
- This will solidify our leadership role in reducing and avoiding emissions in Ontario. Previously we’ve provided 70% of the electricity Ontario needed to shut down its coal plants (accomplished in 2014).
- We will leverage our strong foundation and contribute to Canada achieving Net Zero 2050 by optimizing our existing assets, partnering with Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, exploring hydrogen and fusion technology, assisting public health in a post-pandemic world, isotopes, new nuclear, and electrification.
