Ontario Power Generation (OPG), the Provincial Crown Corporation that owns all of Ontario's nuclear assets, has "entered into an agreement with Capital Power Corporation of Alberta to jointly assess the development and deployment of grid-scale small modular reactors (SMR's) to provide clean, reliable nuclear energy for Alberta."
On the day of Alberta's 4th level-3 grid emergency alert, this is timely.
Given this step, there will be pressure put on OPG to also pursue the partnership and construction of CANDU EC6 reactors.

OPG will have an ownership share, possibly majority ownership, and will primarily manage operation of the plants, with the expectation that this will slowly be transferred to Alberta as their own expertise in these areas develop.
