Share your feedback on our Nuclear Power project
We’re in a multi-year planning phase to see if nuclear power from small modular reactors could be a good fit for Saskatchewan and we want to hear from you!
ENGAGE WITH USEngagement and consultation with the public, communities, customers, stakeholders and Indigenous peoples is a critical part of the planning phase.
We’ve been holding information sessions. Were you unable to attend? Watch previous sessions here:

Your Top Questions
We've highlighted some of the most common questions we're asked when it comes to nuclear power from Small Modular Reactors (SMRs):
How do Small Modular Reactors work?
Good question! Check out the video below to see how it all works.
How much will it cost?
Cost means a lot to you. That’s why evaluating cost and risks is an important part of developing nuclear in the province. The project must be competitively priced against other reliable, non-emitting power options available in the 2030s to proceed. Small modular reactors have strong potential to be a competitive option.
What's the plan for managing waste?
We’ll follow all regulations from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. For more information on what that means, visit our managing waste page.
What about Indigenous participation?
We’re committed to ongoing, meaningful engagement with First Nations and Métis citizens of Saskatchewan. We’ve heard about the importance of protecting mother earth and future generations as we build the future power system. We’ve also heard that Indigenous participation as equity partners in the project, workforce training, and supply chain opportunities is key. For more information, check out the video below.
How much consideration are you giving to renewables?
To get to net zero, we’re considering all supply options. Curious about what options exist? Check out the Understanding our Future Supply Mix video.
