Albertans invited to engage with information sessions regarding nuclear energy

Dec 5, 2025 | 3:43 PM

Albertans are being invited to participate in upcoming information sessions to have their say on nuclear energy in the province.

As part of Alberta’s public engagement on nuclear energy and its potential to meet the province’s future electricity needs, government officials say the Nuclear Energy Engagement and Advisory Panel will host a series of virtual and in-person public information sessions in December and January. These sessions are expected to provide information around nuclear energy and gather input from people across the province, including the public, municipalities and industry.

“Reliably meeting Alberta’s growing electricity demands is critical to our province’s success,” explains Chantelle de Jonge, parliamentary secretary, Affordability and Utilities. “The Nuclear Energy Engagement and Advisory Panel is excited to start meeting directly with Albertans and hear what they have to say about the role nuclear power could play in our energy future.”

Upcoming webinars:

• Public Information Session: Dec. 8, 10:30 a.m. – noon
• Public Information Session: Dec. 10, 6:30 p.m. – 8 p.m.
• Nuclear safety and waste management webinar: Jan.16, 2026, 10:30 a.m. – noon

Interested Albertans can register to attend the webinars by visiting alberta.ca/nuclear-energy-engagement#webinars.

The government says feedback will be carefully analyzed and used to inform the panel’s final report, which will be delivered to the Minister of Affordability and Utilities by March 31, 2026. The report is hoped to guide the development of a nuclear energy roadmap for Alberta.

Officials say additional engagement activities, including information sessions for Indigenous communities and in-person meetings, will be announced in the new year. Albertans can visit the Nuclear Energy Engagement page on Alberta.ca for up-to-date information on nuclear energy engagement in the province.
