Bruce Power, the Canadian-owned partnership behind the Bruce Nuclear Power Plant, has selected Worley to provide early-stage technology support for its new nuclear project: Bruce C.
Worley will support Bruce Power by leading the development of technical requirements, according to a press release. This work will help inform future evaluation and procurement phases.
“Bruce C aims to create superior value for Ontario’s electricity system over the long term, and that starts with making disciplined and informed decisions,” said Olivier Sordi, senior director of projects. “By setting clear and robust requirements up front, we ensure a technology-neutral evaluation that supports decision quality, enhances selectivity and positions us to choose the right solution to help operate the district for decades to come.”
First proposed in 2023, the Bruce C project would be the third nuclear project at the southern Ontario site. According to Bruce Power, Bruce C could add up to 4,800 megawatts of nuclear capacity to the site.
Because nuclear power is a key pillar of the federal government’s emissions reduction plan, a project of this size would have a significant impact on the long-term reliability of Canada’s only private-sector nuclear generating station.
The project is still awaiting federal government review to move forward.
