The Provincial Energy Strategy will address the present—and offer us a roadmap to the future—of energy development in Alberta.

The strategy will recognize that environmentally responsible and innovative hydrocarbon development will remain the cornerstone of Alberta’s economy and North American energy supply. 

It will also recognize the importance of energy conservation, efficiency and the development of renewable energy sources, as expanding pieces of our provincial energy portfolio.

The province has appointed an advisory committee including members from academia, industry and government policy to provide advice on this initiative.

They include:

• Dr. Mike Percy, Dean of Business, the University of Alberta (Chair)
• Dr. Robert Mansell, University of Calgary;
• Linda Van Gastel, Alberta Science and Research Authority;
• Dr. Bill Gunter, Alberta Research Council;
• Dr. Lorne Taylor, former MLA for Cypress Medicine Hat;
• Brendan Bell, former Minister of Energy and Environment, NWT;
• Michael Raymont, former CEO of Energy I-Net;
• Clive Mather, Lead Director, IOGEN Corporation;
• Peter Watson, Deputy Minister of Energy (Ex Officio)
