Public has another chance to weigh in on nuclear energy through online survey

By MEDICINE HAT NEWS on March 5, 2026.

As the engagement period comes to an end, Albertans are invited to share thoughts about adding nuclear to the province’s energy mix by completing an online survey.

The Nuclear Energy Survey will run Mar. 3-24, concluding the engagement activities the province began in August to educate Albertans and gauge stakeholder interest in the potential of nuclear power.

The Nuclear Energy Engagement and Advisory Panel will use the feedback received from the survey to help determine how the province will move forward.

The feedback will be included in the panel’s final report, which will be delivered to the Minister of Affordability and Utilities by Mar. 31.

“Meeting Alberta’s growing electricity needs means securing a strong energy future now,” said Chantelle de Jonge, Chestermere-Strathmore MLA and parliamentary secretary for Affordability and Utilities.

“By sharing your thoughts on nuclear power, you’re helping ensure the province’s next steps reflect the values and priorities of everyone who calls Alberta home.”

Since the nuclear engagement process was launched in August, 5,000 Albertans have shared feedback and hundreds attended in-person and virtual town halls. A total of 40 organizations also contributed to a request for information.

The Nuclear Energy Engagement and Advisory Panel also met directly with Indigenous communities and regional stakeholders.
