Small but mighty - SMRs are the future of nuclear
Imagine a technology that could produce clean, low-carbon power, be factory-assembled and delivered anywhere in the world, and provide reliable, affordable energy to homes, district heating to entire communities, or power for heavy industry. That’s the promise of small modular reactors (SMRs), the next-generation of nuclear technology that is set to be deployed by OPG right here in Ontario – the first place to do so in North America.
Ontario is leading North America's clean energy future
On July 7, 2023, the Ontario government announced it is working with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to commence planning and licensing for three additional SMRs, for a total of four, at our Darlington nuclear site.

Small modular reactor technology will have a big impact in the global fight against climate change

X-energy
We are also working with X-energy to pursue opportunities to deploy the Xe-100 SMR for industrial applications in Canada. These SMRs could help heavy industry reach climate change goals by using clean, safe electricity and high temperature steam efficiently to power production facilities and decarbonize industrial processes.
SMRs and Canada: a perfect match
