REGINA — Following Saskatchewan's participation in the federal government's nuclear energy strategy, the Government of Saskatchewan affirms its support for a nuclear future.
"We support the federal government's vision to make Canada a nuclear energy superpower," Crown Investments Corporation Minister Jeremy Harrison said.
According to the Sask. Crown Investments Corporation, the strategy includes alignment with Saskatchewan's energy future, including:
- a net zero electricity grid by 2050;
- Indigenous participation and partnerships;
- domestic labour and supply chain planning; and,
- federal supports and financing mechanisms for new nuclear reactor builds.
SaskPower reports it is currently in the process of site selection as part of its planning process for small modular reactors. Additionally, the public utility is also working on large nuclear technology selection to ensure all power options remain available to the province as it moves forward with nuclear power.
Saskatchewan's energy future is laid out in Saskatchewan First: Energy Security Strategy and Supply Plan. Affordability and reliability are the guiding principles in the province's path to a net-zero future, Sask. Crown Investments Corporation says.
In March 2026, all provinces and territories signed on to an MOU to create a National Energy Corridor aimed at expanding cross-country intertie infrastructure.
