Bruce Power is celebrating 10 years since the successful conclusion its its Bruce A Restart Project and its return to an eight unit site.
In a release, Bruce Power says they have reliably produced 30 per cent of Ontario’s electricity over the past decade while keeping the air clean by providing 70 per cent of the carbon free electricity the province needs to shut down its coal plants, which was done in 2014.
The 1990’s saw a dark time for the community after all Bruce A units were shuttered when the province was facing the largest surplus capacity of electricity in its history.
Bruce Power was then formed in 2001, committed to restart Units 3 and 4 which was done in 2004 and paved the way for the Units 1 and 2 Restart project.
