It’s not good news but it’s not bad news either for Bruce Power.
The Tiverton based nuclear operator had submitted a proposal for a large scale plant in Saskatchewan.
But the province has decided there’s no need to consider nuclear until after 2020.
Saskatchewan Energy Minister Bill Boyd says they will not follow through on a report that urges the province to speed up plans for nuclear power.
But Boyd also says SaskPower will review its options in 10 years.
Bruce Power spokesperson James Scongack says the province has concluded what Bruce suggested in its feasibility study last November.
Scongack says there is no doubt Saskatchewan will need nuclear generated electricity down the road though.
He refers to earlier this week the province creating peak demand for electricity, followed by record emissions coming from Saskatchewan as one of the worst polluters in the generation of electricity.
Scongack says they’ll continue to monitor the situation in Saskatchewan but he doesn’t think there’s any immediate reaction on Bruce Power’s part.
Earlier this week — Alberta announced it would welcome nuclear power companies to set up shop in the province.
Bruce Power already has a preferred site in Peace River — but has not filed a formal application.
