Bruce Power entered into the Bruce Power Refurbishment Implementation Agreement (BPRIA) in 2005 to enable the restart of Bruce Units 1 and 2, to return the site to its full operating capacity of eight units. The amended agreement enables the company to progress with a series of incremental life-extension investments, including MCR, to secure a clean, reliable and low-cost source of electricity for Ontario families and businesses for decades.
Bruce Power is Ontario’s lowest cost source of nuclear, currently producing over 30 per cent of the province’s electricity at 30% less than the average cost to generate residential power. Extending the operational life of the Bruce Power units will ensure Ontario families and businesses have long-term price stability.
