Hon. Kathryn McGarry, Ontario\u2019s Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry and the MPP for Cambridge, said low-cost, clean, reliable nuclear power is a key component of the province\u2019s electricity system and will help Ontario meet its climate change targets while keeping the air clean.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Bruce Power extends the lives of its nuclear reactors, the long-term partnership with ATS, a global leader in automation headquartered in Ontario, will leverage innovative technologies and experience to improve safety and efficiency in our nuclear power operations,\u201d said Minister McGarry. \u201cThis partnership will help to drive our economy forward and is focused on collaboration to sustain Bruce as one of the lowest cost electricity providers in Ontario.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ian Howcroft, Vice President of the Ontario Division of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, said the life extension of the Bruce units will ensure a steady supply of low-cost electricity, allowing Ontario manufacturers to remain competitive and strong.<\/p>\n
\u201cBruce Power and the low-cost, stable electricity it provides Ontario is part of the solution over both the short and long term,\u201d Howcroft said. \u201cOne of the biggest issues we hear about is the need for low-cost electricity and that\u2019s what Bruce Power delivers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bryan May, Member of Parliament for Cambridge, praised the announcement and welcomed the benefits the nuclear industry brings to Cambridge.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis agreement is terrific news for Cambridge as Bruce Power extends its nuclear reactor life,\u201d said May. \u201cATS is an important part of our local community, and their success makes us all stronger. This partnership is in keeping with the great work that ATS has always done, and I look forward to their long-term collaboration with Bruce.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
