Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford are meeting in Calgary to discuss Canada's energy future, including the proposed Northern Shield Energy Corridor.
The corridor is a pipeline connecting Hardisty, Alta. , to Sarnia, Ont. Their discussion takes place at Enserva's speaker series at the Telus Convention Centre. The event runs from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The premiers' appearance follows their July 6 announcement in Calgary of a proposed route for the Northern Shield Energy Corridor.
Northern Shield Energy Corridor Details
The proposal includes a crude oil pipeline stretching roughly 3,300 kilometres from Hardisty, Alta. , to Sarnia, Ont. The provinces say the corridor would strengthen domestic energy supply chains and reduce reliance on foreign markets. The discussion is expected to include pipelines, energy corridors, as well as permitting and industrial partnerships between Western and Eastern Canada.
A separate summit, Energy Disruptors: UNITE, also gets underway in Calgary on Monday. Organizers expect nearly 3,000 attendees over the two-day event at the BMO Centre. The summit will examine energy security, investment, global trade and the growing electricity and infrastructure demands associated with artificial intelligence. Graeme Edge, the summit's co-founder and CEO, said the program is designed to connect issues often discussed separately.
Energy Disruptors Summit Highlights
You cannot have a serious conversation about AI without talking about electricity, Edge said in a release. You cannot talk about electricity without talking about natural gas, nuclear, renewables, storage, transmission and infrastructure. Former British prime minister David Cameron is scheduled to speak at 9:30 a.m. Monday about shifting global relationships and what Canada's ties with the United States and Europe mean for energy and economic security. Other Monday sessions include discussions on geopolitical change, battery technology and Canadian entrepreneurship.
Tuesday's program includes discussions about AI, data centres and electricity demand. Alberta Technology and Innovation Minister Nate Glubish and Capital Power president and CEO Avik Dey are among the scheduled participants. The broader summit lineup also includes author Margaret Atwood, Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen and Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas.
