As Canada moves to curb emissions in line with its Paris Agreement pledge, Alberta is pursuing a power market reform, which will require $25 billion of new investment in electricity generation over the next 14 years, eliminate nearly 6GW of coal generation, ramp up renewable deployment, and launch a new capacity market. How does Alberta, whose economy has historically depended on oil & gas production, balance these reforms and broader emission-reduction goals with reviving the fossil fuel industry? Key stakeholders will discuss what these divergent developments mean for new energy investment in Alberta, the outlook for wholesale & retail power prices especially in response to Alberta's new Renewable Electricity Program, and Alberta's low-emissions future.
