Ontario Faces Looming Electricity Capacity Shortfall by 2035 Due to Insufficient Nuclear Generation
Ontario is facing a looming electricity capacity shortfall by 2035, with demand projected to outpace new clean energy facilities, potentially requiring up to 17,500 megawatts of additional nuclear generation by 2050. To address this issue and avoid relying on natural gas, the province needs to resume building large-scale nuclear power, with proponents advocating for continued investment in projects such as the proposed "Bruce C" project at Bruce Power, which could provide up to 4,800 MW of nuclear capacity.
