Peace River Nuclear Power Project
Energy Alberta is a private company interested in building a nuclear powerplant approximately 30 kilometres north of the Town of Peace River, Alberta. There are two possible locations for the site, one located in the County of Northern Lights, and one located in Northern Sunrise County.
Energy Alberta is proposing the construction of two twin CANDU MONARK nuclear reactors. As proposed, the Peace River Nuclear Power Project would cover 1,424 hectares in area and operate for approximately 70 years. The plant will generate up to 4,800 megawatts per year. The project assessment is being conducted in collaboration with the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.
The Town of Grimshaw has joined the Peace Regional Energy Committee with neighbouring municipal Councillors and senior administration representatives to discuss and promote the project as it moves along. On this page, we will provide the latest updates on opportunities for consultation, feedback, and otherwise.
