Peace River Nuclear Power Project — Participant Funding Available

April 16, 2025 — Funding provided by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) is now available to help Indigenous Nations and communities and the public participate in the integrated impact assessment process for the proposed Peace River Nuclear Power Project, which would consist of a new nuclear power plant located north of the Town of Peace River, Alberta.

Funding is available for eligible individuals and groups to support their participation throughout the planning phase of the federal integrated impact assessment process. During the current comment period, which ends on May 14, 2025, Indigenous Nations and communities and the public are invited to review the summary of the Initial Project Description and provide comments. IAAC will retroactively reimburse eligible participants for their participation in this first comment period.

Applications received by May 16, 2025, will be considered.
