An Ontario-based company that operates Canada's first private nuclear electricity generating plant wants to build a similar facility in Alberta.
Bruce Power has announced plans to buy Energy Alberta Corp., which has already begun preliminary work on a proposal to build a nuclear plant in the Peace River area about 350 kilometres northwest of Edmonton.
The company says any decisions it makes will rely heavily on having a willing community.
Bruce Power is owned by a group of partners including TransCanada Corp. (TSX: TRP) and Cameco Corp. (TSX: CCO), and provides more than 20 per cent of Ontario's electricity.
Some Albertans have been protesting the idea of building a nuclear generating plant in the province.
