Bruce Power has signed a 12-year master supply agreement with Shawflex, strengthening a long-standing Canadian partnership that supports clean energy production, fuels economic growth, and reinforces the strength of Ontario’s nuclear supply chain.
The agreement, highlighted Tuesday (July 7) at Shawflex’s Vaughan facility as part of the Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries (OCNI) supplier engagement event, will see Shawflex, a division of MATTR Corp., provide highly-engineered electrical wire, cable, components and assemblies to support Bruce Power’s ongoing operations and future projects.
Building on a strong history of collaboration, the agreement reflects Bruce Power’s commitment to sourcing from Canadian suppliers while supporting Shawflex’s continued investment in its Ontario manufacturing capabilities. This work will help sustain and grow highly-skilled jobs while enhancing supply-chain readiness for nuclear refurbishment, life-extension activities and potential new-build opportunities.
Shawflex will support critical work across Bruce Power’s site, including maintenance programs, Major Component Replacement (MCR) projects, and life-extension initiatives that help provide reliable, carbon-free electricity for Ontario. The agreement also positions both organizations to support future nuclear development, including broader energy infrastructure investments across Canada.
“Bruce Power is proud to work with Canadian companies, such as Shawflex, to deliver the reliable, clean electricity Ontario families and businesses depend on every day,” said David Furr, vice-president of supply chain at Bruce Power. “This long-term agreement strengthens our domestic supply chain, supports good-paying jobs, and ensures we have the right partners in place to deliver complex projects safely and efficiently for years to come.”
“This agreement reflects Shawflex’s role as a trusted Canadian supplier to the nuclear industry and our continued investment in advanced manufacturing in Ontario,” said Jarrod Shugg, vice-president and general manager of Shawflex. “We are proud to support Bruce Power’s operations and future projects with high-quality, engineered cable solutions that meet the demands of one of the world’s leading nuclear facilities.”
Bruce Power’s Life-Extension Program is one of Canada’s largest clean-energy infrastructure projects, helping to secure Ontario’s electricity supply while driving billions in economic activity and supporting tens of thousands of jobs across the province and country. Partnerships, such as this one, are critical to ensuring supply-chain readiness as nuclear projects continue to expand in Ontario and across Canada.
The agreement announcement coincides with OCNI’s supplier engagement event, which brings together utilities, suppliers, government representatives and industry stakeholders to strengthen collaboration and provide insight into upcoming project opportunities across Canada’s nuclear sector.
“Supplier engagement remains a critical component of ensuring Canada’s nuclear supply chain is aligned, informed, and ready to deliver,” said Ivette Vera-Perez, OCNI president and chief executive officer. “By bringing together suppliers, utilities, and partners in a focused setting, we are helping to create the conditions for stronger collaboration and more effective project execution.”
