Areva, the province of New Brunswick, and the utility New Brunswick Power, have signed a letter of intent to develop a clean energy park near the Point Lepreau nuclear station (Canada). The project represents the third clean energy park in the world that would be developed by Areva. The site would feature a mid-sized generation III+ nuclear plant and renewable energy sources all built by Areva. Power from the park would be used domestically in the province and exported to the Canadian Maritime region and to New England (USA). Areva is working on similar developments near Piketon, Ohio (USA) with Duke Energy and Fresno, California (USA) with FNEG. The group is developing two mid-sized generation III+ reactors: the 1250MW Kerenatm boiling water reactor and the 1100MW ATMEA1TM pressurized water design. Areva also offers a broad portfolio of renewable energy solutions.
