Co-generation at electric utility power plants offers some unique advantages as a major source of thermal energy for both industrial process and district heating. Ontario Hydro has operated a large nuclear co-generation facility at its Bruce Nuclear Power Development (BNPD) since 1977 and is now pursuing a corporate strategy that embraces selling thermal energy as well as electricity. This paper outlines the Bruce Bulk Steam System at BNPD as well as the results of several studies which have addressed the technical aspects and costs of heat supply from CANDU nuclear power plants. In particular, specific heat supply costs from Darlington GS (a 4 x 850 MWe nuclear power plant) are estimated to be about one-third that of using natural gas as the energy source.
