Ontario ups its SMR plans to four reactors at Darlington

It turns out nuclear reactors are like potato chips. You can’t stop at just one.
The day after Ontario announced it would be building an additional 4,800 megawatts of nuclear reactors at Bruce Nuclear Generating Station, the province announced it would be dramatically expanding its planned rollout of small modular reactors at its Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. The announcement has significant impact on Saskatchewan, and its plans to build four of its own SMRs. The timing would allow Ontario Power Generation to apply learnings from the construction of the first unit to deliver cost savings on subsequent units. This is also the strategy SaskPower is following – allow Ontario to build the first, then learn from that experience.

Wind craters yet again in Alberta and Saskatchewan last week

Wind power in Alberta was pretty low for much of last week, often in the 100 to 200 megawatt range despite an installed based of 3,731 megawatts across now 37 wind farms, comprised of hundreds of wind turbines costing billions of dollar. But at 11:33 a.m. on Saturday, June 9, wind power production fell to 19 megawatts, or 0.5 per cent capacity.
