Energy Alberta Files with CNSC to Construct Nuclear Reactors

LCG, August 29, 2007--The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) yesterday received an application from Energy Alberta Corporation to construct up to two nuclear reactors near Peace River in Alberta. The proposed nuclear power station would include two reactors with a combined net electrical output of 2,100 MW. The target date for commercial operations is early 2017.

The estimated total cost of the proposed facility is C$6.2 billion. The reactor design would employ the ACR-1000, which is founded upon the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited's (AECL) CANDU nuclear technology.

The selected site is on private land located approximately 18 miles west of the town of Peace River, Alberta, where Energy Alberta obtained about 1,400 acres of land.

Energy Alberta is a privately held company, incorporated in Calgary in October 2005. For this project, Energy Alberta partnered with AECL, the federal Crown corporation that provides Candu reactors.
