Phasing out emissions from coal

Overview

In 2015 the Government of Alberta announced the elimination of emissions from coal power generation by 2030.

Alberta is rapidly reducing emissions and targeting a carbon-neutral grid by 2050. Electricity emissions have declined by 53% since 2005 and the province will have phased-out all coal generation by early 2024.

This reflects a shared commitment from both industry and our government to global leadership in environmental, social and governance outcomes, which are increasingly driving investment decisions.
