Thanks for this! I was curious to see how much power different reactors produced vs. our (Saskatchewan) current generation capacity. https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/

That says we're at around 4500MW right now, the majority of it coming from coal and natural gas (16% renewable). With a 300MW capacity per SMR, it wouldn't take too many of these to cover our base load. That page also suggests that we have 890MW worth of hydroelectric capacity, but I suspect that it only works when things are frozen? (I'm not sure why that capacity, which would be 19.6% on its own, isn't counted in the 16% renewable...)
