Bruce Power signs 10-year strategic alliance with Contro Valve

In alignment with its “Canadian at our Core” strategy, Bruce Power has signed a 10-year strategic alliance agreement with Contro Valve, forging a continued partnership that secures well-paying jobs, drives the economy and supports clean energy projects right here at home.

The agreement was announced Wednesday at Contro Valve’s Burlington facility as part of the Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries (OCNI) Supplier Engagement Series. The deal has the potential to see more than $10-million invested over the next 10 years while also providing equipment-reliability and cost-certainty for Bruce Power operations and projects to secure 30 per cent of Ontario’s clean energy for decades to come.

“Bruce Power is proud that 95 per cent of our spending is in Canada,” said Pat Dalzell, vice-president of corporate affairs and operational services. “We’re strengthening our domestic supply chain and Ontario’s economic growth, and this alliance agreement is part of that commitment.”

"This agreement re-affirms Contro Valve's role as a long-term, trusted partner in the Canadian Nuclear Industry,” said Chris Tremblay, nuclear manager at Contro Valve. “Our dedicated, expanding team in Burlington, built on 25-plus years of expertise, is ready to deliver the high-quality, critical valves, instrumentation and local support essential to the next generation of safe and reliable nuclear power in Ontario."

Contro Valve employs up to 150 people in its five locations across Canada, including in Ontario (Sarnia, Burlington and Thunder Bay), Quebec and Manitoba. Bruce Power’s ongoing Life-Extension Program is Ontario’s largest clean-energy initiative and one of Canada’s largest private-sector infrastructure projects, funded by private-sector investors.

Bruce Power provides between $9-billion and $12-billion in direct and indirect economic activity in Canada from operations and its Life-Extension Program, supporting 22,000 direct and indirect jobs.
