Until 2040, Cameco just commented, the nuclear fuel supply agreements with Bruce Power will be extended. This ten-year extension includes additional business between the contractors worth about $2.8 billion. The collaboration thus secures Canadian-produced nuclear power for decades to come. This is necessary to achieve net-zero goals. Affordable, low-carbon nuclear energy needed to generate electricity is thus guaranteed. Cameco has the world's largest high-grade reserves. Bruce Power is a publicly owned electricity company based in Ontario.
One thing is certain, interest in uranium has reawakened. But it is likely to be more the real demand for uranium that is driving up long-term prices. The Sprott Physical Uranium Trust is also steadily emerging as a buyer, as are utilities. That's because the lack of investment in uranium following the Fukushima disaster is fueling fears that uranium deficits are spreading. Pricewise, a pound of uranium cost around $40 at the end of 2021, rising to around $51 in 2022. Since 2007, these have been the biggest gains. Long-term uranium prices are also trending sharply higher. Since the beginning of the year, they have risen to 52 US dollars. Similarly, in 2022, long-term contracts are up 58 percent. Investors who back uranium companies like Uranium Energy or Consolidated Uranium can rejoice.
