Alberta government criticizing clean electricity targets, incentivizing carbon capture at Global Energy Show

Power transmission lines and wind turbines as seen with the Rocky Mountains in the background near Pincher Creek, Alta., Thursday, June 6, 2024. The show returned to Calgary this week running from June 11 to 13 as the first official large-scale event held at the newly expanded BMO Centre in Stampede Park.

In the report, the council says decarbonizing the grid is a daunting challenge in jurisdictions like Alberta and Saskatchewan, where fossil fuels still make up the majority of electricity generating capacity. “For over two years, provinces, utilities, businesses and Canadians have demanded federal electricity regulations that reduce emissions without sacrificing affordability and reliability,” Smith said.

The Alberta government has promised to provide grants to carbon capture projects built in the province, including a large-scale $16.5 billion development proposed by the Pathways Alliance. Federal legislation for the credit is expected to be passed later in June and Ottawa is also promising to offer carbon contracts for difference that would lock in the future carbon price for such an initiative.
