Ontario is putting its chips on nuclear power and natural gas to meet its growing energy demand while directing IESO to incorporate gas distributors and the province’s economic development goals in its system planning.

TVA has struck an agreement on small modular reactor development with GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, Ontario Power Generation and Synthos Green Energy.

The coming decade will see “extraordinary reliability challenges and opportunities” amid rapid changes in the North American electric grid, NERC staff said.

The nuclear industry wants to change the conventional wisdom that says nuclear projects are always late, over budget and don't perform as expected.
