This summit is an incredible opportunity to showcase the changes we’re making and promote emerging investment opportunities here in Alberta to help grow our economy and create jobs for Albertans.”
Minister McCuaig-Boyd will also present at the summit on several of Alberta’s energy initiatives, including:
- the Climate Leadership Plan
- Alberta’s transition away from coal
- the Renewable Electricity Program
The presentation will be followed by an hour-long panel discussion focused on investment opportunities in Alberta’s power market.
The Future of Energy Summit, hosted by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, is one of the largest annual events in the world focused on renewable energy investment and attracts renewable energy leaders and investors across the energy sector.
The estimated mission cost for the minister, one political staff and one public servant is $12,300.
