Westinghouse Electric Company today named John Gorman as its newly appointed President, Westinghouse Canada. In this role, Mr. Gorman will be responsible for leading all external affairs in Canada with responsibility to drive strategic growth across Westinghouse’s full suite of product and service offerings.

Mr. Gorman is a highly respected and trusted industry leader with more than 25 years of expertise in government relations, economic development and public policy. Most recently, Mr. Gorman served as president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Nuclear Association. Mr. Gorman led the industry’s successful effort to secure government recognition and support for nuclear as a pivotal technology in meeting Canada’s environmental and energy security goals. During his tenure, the nuclear sector won access to the clean energy investment tax credits, gained inclusion in the Green Bond Framework and secured significant funding to support the deployment of new nuclear. Previously, he held senior leadership positions at the Canadian Solar Industries Association (CanSIA) and Empower Energies Inc. and served as a board member on one of the nation’s largest electric utilities.

“Westinghouse has long been a proven partner for the Canadian nuclear industry, providing valuable expertise, resources and advanced technologies to deliver cost-effective, clean energy today and for the future,” said Margaret Cosentino, Westinghouse Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs. “We are proud to welcome John and leverage his deep knowledge of Canada’s energy market, which will support further success for our customers.”

Canada is at a pivotal moment in pursuit of its clean energy objectives, and Westinghouse is uniquely positioned to play an active role in this transformation. Owned by Canadian energy powerhouses Cameco and Brookfield, Westinghouse employs more than 250 employees across offices in Burlington, Port Elgin, Peterborough and the recently opened global engineering and innovation hub in Kitchener.

Earlier this year, Westinghouse released a comprehensive, independent report from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) outlining the significant economic impact from deploying four advanced AP1000® reactor units in Ontario.

Additionally, Westinghouse and the Saskatchewan Research Council are leading the way to build the first Canadian eVinci™ microreactor in Saskatchewan. Westinghouse also recently signed memorandums of understanding with key, Canadian suppliers to support the advanced reactor fleet, including Curtiss-Wright Nuclear Canada, E.S. Fox Ltd., Velan Inc. and Seaspan.
