Ontario plans to refurbish the Pickering nuclear plant to meet growing energy needs, following successful upgrades at Darlington.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is reversing course on nuclear power, advancing plans to refurbish the aging Pickering plant amid rising electricity demand from manufacturing and emerging industries.
The shift follows successful, on-time, under-budget refurbishments at Darlington, boosting confidence in nuclear’s reliability and cost-effectiveness.

The project could create thousands of jobs, but concerns persist over long-term affordability and whether future governments will absorb final costs.
