Ontario's economy
The $13 billion, privately funded Bruce Power life-extension program will inject $4 billion into Ontario’s economy. About 480 companies do business with Bruce Power, creating 22,000 jobs and building a supply chain of companies that runs across Ontario.
We're growing.

Carbon-free.
