Alberta has always been a leader on the world energy stage. To maintain and expand our leadership as Canada's energy superpower, we need to work hard to recruit investment and diversify our approach.

Under an Alberta NDP government, Alberta will contribute to global energy security with our oil and gas resources and expertise, and diversify our energy sector in emerging industries like bitumen beyond combustion, hydrogen, geothermal, critical minerals, wind and solar.

We will further pursue more technology, manufacturing, value-add, and export opportunities, building on the expertise and innovation from our energy sector. The economic and investment opportunity to move to new and sustainable energy is immense and exciting.

This will achieve regulatory certainty through predictable, streamlined systems that reward good actors and allow us to get projects off the ground fast enough to meet demand.

For projects with the potential to create good long-term jobs and lower emissions, we will establish a Major Projects Office to coordinate approvals, advance Indigenous equity relationships, and de-risk, secure, and negotiate financing.

Global market access must be at the heart of our energy strategy for all our products, in the same way Rachel Notley did to get the Trans Mountain Pipeline built – the first new oil pipeline to tidewater in 50 years!

We will also contribute to global energy security by advancing LNG projects that replace higher-emissions energy globally.

The Alberta NDP will also:

• Expand the Alberta Petrochemical Incentive Program (APIP) by 30 per cent.
• Consult on expanding the Alberta Indigenous Opportunities Corporation to more sectors and to more nations and communities.
• Support new products, markets and technologies for our energy sector through Alberta’s Future Tax Credit. This is a 20 to 30 per cent refundable tax credit which rewards low-emissions capital investments in emerging sectors, for example in critical minerals, advanced manufacturing, and bitumen beyond combustion.
• Create an Alberta Export Office to bring technology and services, especially in the areas of energy and emissions reductions, to global markets.

Together, our economic strategy will create 47,000 jobs and generate $20 billion in new investment.
