Energy Alberta is moving ahead with early groundwork for the proposed Peace River Nuclear Power Project, launching a series of environmental field studies this spring and summer.
Residents in the region may notice field crews working across potential project sites in the coming months. These teams will be gathering critical data to help guide planning and assess environmental impacts.
The studies will focus on identifying possible water intake locations, as well as analyzing surface water and groundwater conditions. Crews will also monitor local wildlife, including any species considered at risk.
According to the company, all field work is being carried out by trained specialists, alongside Indigenous representatives, as part of ongoing engagement efforts.
The work may involve equipment such as boats, survey tools, drones, and passive monitoring devices like acoustic recorders.
Energy Alberta says the information collected will play a key role in shaping the project’s design and ensuring environmental considerations are addressed early in the process.
