Today, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Josh Shapiro, Governor of Pennsylvania, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to support increased cooperation in key sectors, including expanded energy trade and improved energy infrastructure, critical minerals, manufacturing, life sciences and more. As part of this MOU, Ontario and Pennsylvania agreed to explore increased cross-border energy trade that would take advantage of Ontario’s growing energy supply as the province continues to build and expand its nuclear energy capacity. The agreement follows Premier Ford’s recent mission to Washington, D.C. and the unveiling of Ontario’s renewed plan for Building Fortress North America by reaching a fair free trade agreement that will create more jobs, lower costs and strengthen North American security.

“From affordable, reliable nuclear energy to critical minerals and more, Ontario has everything needed to support our allies, create jobs, protect continental security and make life more affordable for families on both sides of the border as we build Fortress North America,” said Premier Ford. “Ontario’s continued leadership in expanding our nuclear energy is an historic opportunity to support our friends and neighbours in Pennsylvania by exporting affordable, reliable energy that can power economic growth in both our jurisdictions. Today’s agreement will help us secure these benefits for workers and families in Ontario and Pennsylvania and will set the stage for more cooperation in the years to come.”
