Project named number one of the Top 100 Infrastructure Projects in Canada for 2017.

The world's largest nuclear power generating facility is just over a year into their highly technical life extension program and they're already turning a few heads.

Bruce Power's Life Extension Project has been named number one of the Top 100 Infrastructure Projects in Canada for 2017.

Part of that is the major component replacement project slated to begin in 2020, something spokesperson John Peevers calls a massive undertaking and also an historic effort for Bruce Power.

The project is a $13 billion dollar private investment that remains both on time and on budget.

Peevers says Bruce Power's Major Component Replacement is extremely vital to not only the region and surrounding communities but to the province as well.

Bruce Power's Life Extension Program will sustain an estimated 22,000 jobs directly and indirectly across Canada, it will inject an estimated $4 billion dollars into the province's economy and it'll also ensure that low-cost, reliable and carbon free nuclear electricity is there for families and businesses across Ontario when they need it.
