"The new memorandum of understanding (MOU) establishes a deal between New York Power Authority (NYPA) and Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to collaborate on advancing nuclear energy technologies, including small modular reactors (SMRs) which Ontario is currently building and large-scale nuclear facilities, the province said in a release. Announcing the agreement with New York Governor Kathy Hochul at a news conference in Buffalo Friday, Ford said Ontario currently has enough nuclear electricity to power 16 million homes,"
"Ontario is building the first small modular reactors in the G7 and we're leading the way at [the] Darlington site, he said. We invite you to share the technology. WATCH | The hype behind Canada's investment in nuclear SMRs: Small modular nuclear reactors are being touted as a key piece of the future of clean energy and construction is now underway in Ontario on the first of its kind in the G7."
"Under the new MOU, NYPA and OPG will share expertise and resources on technological innovation, financing and developing facilities, and training a workforce to build and operate nuclear infrastructure on both sides of the border, according to the provincial release. New York and Ontario will also look at trade opportunities for electricity to improve power reliability and reduce emissions. Ford praised nuclear energy as a positive method of future electricity production for both neighbours."
Ontario and New York signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on nuclear energy development. The partnership pairs the New York Power Authority with Ontario Power Generation to advance technologies including small modular reactors and large-scale nuclear facilities. Ontario is building SMRs at Darlington and currently produces enough nuclear electricity for 16 million homes, with additional capacity expected. The agreement will share expertise, financing, development strategies and workforce training for constructing and operating nuclear infrastructure. Both jurisdictions will explore electricity trade to strengthen reliability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
