The Bruce C Project will create 18,900 full-time equivalent jobs during construction and generate $238 billion in GDP over 80 years, supporting Ontario’s energy security and economy.

  • Bruce Power unveiled the Bruce C Project on Jan. 19, 2026, projecting 18,900 jobs and nearly $238-billion GDP over an 80-year span in Kincardine, Ontario.
  • The Ontario Chamber of Commerce and Prism analysis found the lifetime GDP projection splits into about $61 billion during construction and over $176 billion during operations, with the project emphasizing a made-in-Ontario supply chain and 95 percent of current spend in Canada.
  • Independent analysts estimate more than 10,100 annual full‑time equivalent jobs across Canada, generating about $1 billion in national labour income, with nearly $900 million earned in Ontario.
  • Municipal governments within the Clean Energy Frontier would collect $55‑million annually, and the project would contribute more than $217‑billion to Ontario's GDP over 80 years, adding about $2.3 billion annually to Clean Energy Frontier regional GDP.
  • Capacity and regulatory review together frame the longer‑term feasibility and oversight of the proposal, which is currently undergoing a federal integrated Impact Assessment, with up to 4,800 MW proposed to reach 12,000 MW capacity.
