Bruce Power Limited Partnership is a Canadian business partnership composed of several corporations. It exists (as of 2015) as a partnership between TransCanada Corporation (48.5%), BPC Generation Infrastructure Trust (48.5%), Power Workers Union and The Society of Energy Professionals, as well as a majority of employees. It is the licensed operator of the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station, located on the shores of Lake Huron, roughly 250 kilometres northwest of Toronto, between the towns of Kincardine and Saugeen Shores. This is the largest operating nuclear plant in the world by output (Kashiwazaki is currently closed in Japan).
Bruce power owns eight nuclear reactors on Lake Huron where it leases the Bruce site from Ontario Power Generation. With those eight units in operation, the facility supplies 6,300 megawatts of electricity to Ontario's power grid, equivalent to nearly 30 per cent of the electricity use in the province. Bruce Power became the world's largest operating nuclear facility in 2012, when Units 1 and 2 returned to operation after a multibillion-dollar refurbishment project. This achievement returned the site to full operating capacity for the first time in 17 years.
Current members of the board of directors of Bruce Power are: Dennis Fry, Duncan Hawthorne, Michael Rolland, Bernard Michel, Alexander Pourbaix, Sean McMaster, Sean Quinn, and Preston Swafford.
Bruce Power has invested more than $7 billion in its Bruce A and B facilities to restart and optimize the performance of its nuclear fleet over the last decade and has successfully carried out massive refurbishment and plant life extension projects on all of its operational units.
Following the initial Bruce A Restart project (initiated during the British Energy incumbency) to return to service of Units 3 and 4 (completed in 2003/04), Units 1 and 2 underwent a multibillion-dollar refurbishment after years of dormancy. To facilitate this, on Oct. 17, 2005, Bruce Power announced a revision to its structure.
