SaskPower and GE Hitachi have signed an agreement to advance the development of nuclear power in Saskatchewan.
The agreement, signed Tuesday morning at SaskPower headquarters in Regina, is part of a plan to develop a small modular reactor (SMR) in the province.
SaskPower says it will work with GE Hitachi on design, fuel sourcing and fabrication for a BWRX-300 reactor, the technology selected in 2022.

[ad_1] Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe called the federal government’s net-zero energy goals unachievable and unaffordable on Friday, saying it would hit residents with even higher costs of living. Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault released draft regulations Thursday designed to clean Canada’s electricity grid, billing the move as key to Canada’s economic competitiveness, transitioning the energy economy and combatting climate change.The government has set a target of making the electricity grid net zero by 2035, and the regulations are meant to help guide the way.“It’s unachievable,” said Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe at a media conference Monday. “It’s unrealistic. Those are SaskPower’s words, not mine. Our power utility cannot actually achieve what the federal government sets us up to achieve and it certainly isn’t going to be affordable as it will double the power rates in the province.”In May, the Saskatchewan government set their own net-zero goals for 2050, 15 years after that of the goals of the federal government. Story continues below advertisement “The federal government seems to have a different timeline than what we have put forward in Saskatchewan,” Moe said. “It doesn’t impact how we generate power due to the wording of the constitution.”Moe said that how a province generates its power is under the purview of provincial governments.“We put forward a plan that would allow us to run our assets out, run our generation assets out to the end of their life cycle,” Moe said. “To shut them down 20 or 30 years early, there most certainly is a cost to that.” Federal officials say the new regulations would drive up the cost of energy slightly, but they add that would be offset by the savings expected to come from moving away from fossil fuels. Trending Now Hundreds of thousands moving to Calgary, making city unaffordable Mass murderer’s half-brother arrested after report of attack on James Smith Cree Nation Environment and Climate Change Canada estimates the national average household energy bill will increase by $35 to $61 per year if the regulations are adopted, but by 2040, only two per cent of that increase will come as a result of the regulations.“It is going to increase not only our fuel costs but also our energy and electricity costs which will be felt in our personal family households,” Moe said. “It will be felt today and tomorrow, increasingly tomorrow, at the grocery store and at the fuel pumps.”Like many times before, Moe noted that the Saskatchewan Party believes the federal government carbon tax is one of the most prominent contributors to the raised cost of living. Story continues below advertisement The federal government plans to cover up to half of the cost of the regulations through tax credits, low-cost financing and other funds, which could mean even less cost is passed onto consumers, Guilbeault said at a press conference in Toronto.Overall, Canadians are expected to spend 12 per cent less on energy by 2050, government estimates show.— With files from Global News’ David Baxter. © 2023 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc.

Alberta and Saskatchewan will collaborate on nuclear power generation as part of a memorandum of understanding unveiled Thursday morning.
Dustin Duncan, Saskatchewan's minister responsible for SaskPower, was joined by Nathan Neudorf, Alberta's minister for affordability and utilities, at a news conference in Regina.
The agreement between the two Prairie provinces will see them share information around workforce development, nuclear supply chain, the security of supply of nuclear fuels, and the development and regulation of nuclear reactor technologies such as small modular reactors (SMRs).
"Saskatchewan has a long-standing co-operative relationship with Alberta on energy development, and we share similar challenges and opportunities related to decarbonization," said Duncan in a news release. [...]

Bear takes nap on SaskPower pole
Crews found a black bear taking a nap on top one a power pole near Shellbrook, Sask., about 150 km north of Saskatoon.
The crew was worried about bringing the bear down without hurting it, or causing a power outage, but it ended up climbing down all on its own.
But only after the quick snooze.
