The Nuclear Energy Survey is open to all Albertans and will run from March 3 until March 24. It will be one of the final engagement activities undertaken by Alberta’s Nuclear Energy Engagement and Advisory Panel and help determine how the province will move forward on adding nuclear power to the energy mix to meet growing electricity demands.

“Meeting Alberta’s growing electricity needs means securing a strong energy future now. On behalf of the Nuclear Energy Engagement and Advisory Panel, I want to thank everyone who has participated in the engagement process. By sharing your thoughts on nuclear power, you’re helping ensure the province’s next steps reflect the values and priorities of everyone who calls Alberta home.”

Chantelle de Jonge, parliamentary secretary, Affordability and Utilities

The survey follows a series of successful engagement activities. Since the launch of the nuclear engagement process in August 2025, almost 5,000 Albertans have shared feedback during the initial nuclear energy development survey informing the engagement process. A total of 40 organizations contributed to a request for information and hundreds of Albertans attended virtual webinars and in-person townhalls. The Nuclear Energy Engagement and Advisory Panel also met directly with Indigenous communities, municipalities and regional stakeholders.

Feedback gathered throughout the engagement will be analyzed and used to inform the panel’s final report, which will be delivered to the Minister of Affordability and Utilities by March 31. The report will help guide the development of a nuclear energy roadmap for Alberta.
