NuclearSaskatchewanCanada
Saskatchewan nuclear power plant is a 2,000 MW nuclear power station in Saskatchewan, Canada. It is operated by Bruce Power. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 4.5 million homes (estimated). It ranks #19 of 1,211 Canada power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, nuclear supplies about 13.1% of Canada's electricity; the national grid averages 191 gCO₂/kWh (77.0% low-carbon) (2025).

This nuclear plant uses heat from nuclear fission to raise steam for a turbine-generator. It sits in a subarctic (boreal) climate (Köppen Dfc) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 54.7°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

The #6 largest nuclear power plant of 15 in Canada by capacity.
Canada has 15 nuclear power plants in this dataset, together about 20,406 MW of capacity.
