Early Years in Scotland

Duncan joined the power industry in Scotland with the South of Scotland Electricity Board as an apprentice at the Cumbernauld Training Centre, and spent time at some of the SSEB power stations. He held engineering and managerial posts at Hunterston B, which during this period was vested with Scottish Nuclear. Upon the formation of British Energy he joined the head office organization in East Kilbride.

North America and Bruce Power Formation

Duncan headed to North America as part of AmerGen - a joint venture which included British Energy - in Philadelphia. It was while in North America he joined Dr Robin Jeffery (the deputy chairman of British Energy) in the formation of Canagen based in Toronto, as part of the British Energy organization to become part of the Canadian electricity setup. It was this that led to the formation of Bruce Power.

Duncan was part of the executive team throughout the Bruce Nuclear acquisition, the formation of Bruce Power and the development of the company's current partnership structure with the Cameco Corporation, TransCanada Corporation, BPC Generation Infrastructure Trust, a trust established by the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System, the Power Workers’ Union and The Society of Energy Professionals.[1]
