As of 2024, Canada was planning the construction of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), an advanced type of nuclear reactor with a capacity of approximately 300 megawatts. According to a recent forecast, the generation capacity of conventional nuclear power plants will remain below 90 terawatt-hours over the next 25 years, while SMR electricity generation will reach 160 terawatt-hours by 2050.
