Image 1 – Ontario Government and Bruce Power announcement at Northern Transformer facility.
We were pleased to witness today’s announcement by Ontario’s Minister of Energy and Mines, Stephen Lecce, that Bruce Power's Unit 3 has successfully returned to service following its Major Component Replacement program, more than seven months ahead of schedule.
The refurbished unit will deliver over 800 MW of clean, reliable power, enough to supply more than 800,000 homes for decades. The Bruce Power Life-Extension Program also supports around 27,000 jobs and contributes approximately $4 billion annually to Ontario’s economy.
At Northern Transformer, we are proud to be part of the Made-in-Canada supply chain that supports projects like this. As electricity demand continues to grow across Ontario, driven by electrification, data centers, and industrial expansion, the need for reliable transmission and transformation infrastructure becomes increasingly critical.
We congratulate all teams and workers involved in this achievement and look forward to continuing to support the development of a stronger, more reliable energy system for Canada.
"I would like to congratulate Minister Lecce for being a strong supporter of investment in our electricity system and Bruce Power for the remarkable accomplishment of completing the refurbishment ahead of schedule and under budget. This goes a long way to win public support for more nuclear power, clean, reliable, and affordable electrical power made here in Ontario. Our team at Northern Transformer is very proud of our contribution to this successful achievement and looks forward to continue building a mutually beneficial long-term relationship."
- Giovanni Marcelli, Chairman of the Board, Northern Transformer Corporation
