  Premier Scott Moe of Saskatchewan, Premier Danielle Smith of Alberta, and Premier R.J. Simpson of the Northwest Territories have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on nuclear energy generation and electricity interconnections. The agreement establishes a framework for evaluating large-scale nuclear reactors, small modular reactors (SMRs), and microreactors, alongside the development of regional transmission infrastructure and interties. The partnership builds upon previous cross-jurisdictional agreements, including Saskatchewan's March 2026 Partnership Agreement on Transmission Interties and a 2024 MOU between Saskatchewan and Alberta, to enhance grid reliability, support carbon-neutral power generation, and secure long-term regional energy security.
