Province aiming to advance energy security in Washington, D.C.
The provincial government says Alberta continues to promote a North American energy strategy to create long-term energy security and affordability.
Premier Jason Kenney and Energy Minister Sonya Savage will travel to Washington, D.C., to represent Alberta in meetings on Capitol Hill, and participate in the IHS Oil Sands Dialogue. Additionally, Premier Kenney and Minister Savage will participate in events organized by the Pathways Alliance.
“The world needs more responsibly produced energy and Alberta – which adheres to the highest environmental, human rights and labour standards – is the logical choice to help meet that demand,” says Jason Kenney, Premier of Alberta. “Alberta is ready to help our U.S. neighbours create a stable, affordable and ethical energy system for North America, and we look forward to productive discussions through this mission.”
“We continue working to address North American and global energy security concerns that have been neglected for too long,” adds Sonya Savage, Minister of Energy. “It is important for Alberta to have a seat at the table when these matters are being discussed. Our energy sector supports jobs on both sides of the border, lowers U.S. energy costs, and plays a vital role in maintaining a reliable, affordable, North American energy system.”
