How does Point Lepreau contribute to New Brunswick’s electricity supply?

The Point Lepreau nuclear power station is a key component of the province's energy infrastructure. It serves as a major source of electric power generation for New Brunswick, supplementing the province's other energy sources, which include hydroelectric developments along the St. John River system as well as coal- and oil-fired steam-generating units.1

This facility is part of a broader power grid that connects the provincial utility with neighboring Canadian provinces and the United States, allowing New Brunswick to manage its energy needs and export excess capacity.1
