In early 2026, OPG began drilling 40 boreholes at Ontario’s Wesleyville site. Now, the tests are assessing land that could eventually host up to 10,000 MW of nuclear power

Canada is undertaking an ambitious project by drilling forty boreholes to evaluate a vast field in Lake Ontario, which could potentially accommodate a nuclear power station with a capacity of 10,000 megawatts. This initiative aims to generate sufficient electricity for around ten million households, while detailed environmental and geological assessments are in progress and the specific reactor technology remains undecided.
