Description

This policy paper contains foundation principles, recommendations and supporting rationale for a sustainable transmission development policy for Alberta. Transmission is by nature a long-term investment. This policy must therefore be forward looking and sustainable. Transmission policy must ensure that Albertans continue to receive safe, reliable, and efficient electric service wherever they live and work in the province. A robust transmission system will provide the underlying foundation for continued economic growth throughout the province and development of Alberta's vast resource base.

Description

For many years, Alberta has extensively developed its energy minerals. However, the province also possesses a wide range of other minerals: base and precious metals, gemstones and industrial minerals. To enhance the economic benefit of these resources for all Albertans, Alberta's throne speech for 1999/2000 committed the government to develop a policy on non-energy minerals, streamline the administration of mining regulations, and improve geological information on minerals. Alberta Energy assembled a team from across government to establish the strategies for meeting these commitments. This document presents the results of the work of this team, which is a framework that outlines the vision, goals and strategic directions for ensuring orderly, environmentally responsible mineral exploration and development in Alberta.
