"Big Data analytics is a core competency at Rolls-Royce," said Paul Tobin, Rolls-Royce, Executive Vice President - Nuclear Projects and Services. "We developed this capability in our aerospace business where monitoring and mining the enormous data volumes continuously generated by aircraft engines and other aircraft systems has allowed us to achieve massive reductions in operating costs while concurrently improving safety and reliability. We are now applying the same know-how coupled with our worldwide nuclear operating data and expertise to deliver high value solutions for the nuclear power generation industry."

Mike Rencheck, Bruce Power's President and CEO, said Bruce Power is pleased to work with Rolls-Royce on this contract, which promises operating cost savings among other benefits. "By aligning with strong partners we can get the work done that will allow us to continue supplying 30 per cent of Ontario's electricity at 30 per cent less than the average cost to generate residential power," Rencheck said.
