The Clean Energy Frontier region, spanning Bruce, Grey and Huron counties, located within the territory of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, is a leader in Ontario’s clean energy sector. Led by the Bruce Power Nexus Research Centre, hosted at the Nuclear Innovation Institute, the Clean Energy Frontier Program focuses on promoting the valuable contribution the region brings to Ontario. From supply chain growth to workforce readiness and community development, the Clean Energy Frontier program provides municipal leaders and local organizations across Ontario with the tools, data and context they need to plan for growth and opportunity.
The program began in 2016 as the Nuclear Economic Development and Innovation Initiative, a partnership between Bruce Power and Bruce County. The initiative was established to ensure local communities shared in the economic benefits associated with Bruce Power’s Life-Extension Program and the broader growth of Ontario’s nuclear sector. Its early focus was on economic development, supply-chain growth, innovation, and helping local businesses participate in opportunities created by the nuclear industry.
The number of major suppliers in the tri-county region has grown from 13 in 2016 to more than 60 by 2022, helping establish the region as one of Canada’s leading non-urban economic development success stories.
