Ministry of Energy (Alberta)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ministry of Energy is a Cabinet-level agency of the government of the Canadian province of Alberta responsible for coordinating policy relating to the development of mineral and energy resources. It is also responsible for assessing and collecting non-renewable resource royalties, freehold mineral taxes, rentals, and bonuses. The Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission, which is fully integrated with the Department of Energy within the ministry, and fully funded by the Crown, accepts delivery of the Crown's royalty share of conventional crude oil and sells it at the current market value.
The Alberta Energy and Utilities Board regulates energy resource development, pipelines, transmission lines, and investor-owned electric, water, and natural gas utilities, as well as certain municipality-owned utilities. It reports to the Executive Council through the Ministry of Energy, although it operates and makes its formal decisions independently and autonomously.
As of 2007, the Minister of Energy in the Ed Stelmach Cabinet is Mel Knight.
