Bruce A and Bruce B Nuclear Generating Stations
Torys acted as counsel to Scotiabank, TD Bank and the club of lenders in the C$2 billion banking facilities made available to Bruce Power LP in connection with its C$13 billion investment program to refurbish the Bruce A and Bruce B Nuclear Generation Stations in southwestern Ontario.
Bruce Power is the world's largest operating nuclear facility and Canada's first (and only) private nuclear generator, providing 30% of Ontario's electricity.
Located on the eastern shore of Lake Huron near Tiverton, Ontario, within the traditional lands and treaty territory of the people of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON), which includes the Chippewas of Nawash and Saugeen First Nation, the facility consists of the Bruce A and Bruce B Nuclear Generation Stations with a combined installed capacity of 6,232 MW.
Formed in 2001, Bruce Power is an all-Canadian partnership among TC Energy, Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement Systems (OMERS), the Power Workers’ Union and The Society of United Professionals. A majority of Bruce Power's employees are also owners in the business.
Further information on the Bruce A and Bruce B nuclear generation stations can be found on Bruce Power’s website.
The Torys team was led by Jonathan Weisz and included Nina Mansoori, Dan Doubilet and Sam Levitt (project financing), David Dell (real estate), Michael Fortier (indigenous) and John Tobin (tax).
