The Alberta government is partnering with energy company Enbridge to expand pipeline capacity in the hope of strengthening its role as a key supplier for North America’s energy security chain.
Premier Danielle Smith announced the signing of a letter of intent with Enbridge on Jan. 6. The agreement includes forming a working group with Enbridge and the Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission, which manages the province’s oil and gas resources. The working group will focus on boosting Alberta oil and gas exports to Canadian and U.S. markets by exploring opportunities for transportation, storage, terminal facilities, and market access along Enbridge’s 29,000-kilometre network.
