Bruce Power

Bruce Power announces it will conduct a feasibility study into nuclear power in Saskatchewan on June 17, 2008. It says it will issue a report by the end of the year. In January, private citizen Joe Kuchta files an FOI asking for copies of any briefing notes and memos from August 1, 2008 to January 15, 2009 relating to Bruce Power.

On March 9 CIC releases 11 pages, half of which are blacked out. The material shows that CIC knew of key findings in the feasibility study two months before the report was released. The material also shows "CIC staff held a preliminary meeting with Bruce Power officials on September 29th, during which the following information was provided:

  • The study will conclude that it is feasible to build a two unit, 2,000 megawatt nuclear power plant in Saskatchewan under certain conditions.
  • The study will also identify as many as four potential locations: “near Lloydminster, near North Battleford, near Prince Albert and near Boundary Dam south of Estevan." (The rest of the page is blacked out)

Bruce Power announces the results of its feasibility study on November 27 - the proposed nuclear plant is feasible in Saskatchewan.A "follow up" to the release states that the proposed nuclear plant is feasible in Saskatchewan "based on the assumption that the province will require 1,000 megawatts of new generation by 2018; that Saskatchewan is committed to make the required upgrades to the provincial electrical infrastructure necessary to facilitate a nuclear power station and that a strong export market exists for power generation surplus to Saskatchewan's domestic requirements.

Are there really two stories in Sask. when potash and PST are not related?...
December 2, 2009
After all, if there are two separate economic stories - potash and everything else - why might municipal taxpayers be asked to pay for the shortfall in the provincial government revenue? Isn't that why municipal revenue increases were tied to the PST - a far more stable, predictable source of revenue - in the first place? Are there really two stories in Saskatchewan? Or are there only two stories when it comes to the government justifying the consequences of its overly optimistic potash revenue projections? -Murray Mandryk, The Leader-Post
