Statement on Ottawa moving away from its ambitious and unattainable goal of net zero electricity by 2035:
After years of watching the federal government gaslight Canadians on the feasibility of achieving a net zero electricity grid by 2030, we are happy to see Ottawa finally admit that the Alberta government's plan to achieve a net zero electricity grid at carbon by 2050 is more responsible. accessible and realistic goal.

That said, the federal government's comprehensive electricity regulations remain completely unconstitutional because they seek to regulate in an area of exclusive provincial jurisdiction. It also requires producers to meet unreasonable and unattainable intermediate targets set by the federal government starting in 2035, which will still make electricity unaffordable for Canadian households.
Therefore, Alberta will prepare an immediate legal challenge to this electricity regulation, which it fully expects to win.
We propose a faster and less expensive alternative solution that involves the federal government completely abandoning any attempt to regulate or otherwise interfere with Alberta's governance of our provincial energy grid.
