The Alberta Federation of Labour is proud to present this crucial report on Alberta’s electricity sector.
For too long, Albertans have watched as deregulation in our electricity generation industry has failed our workers and our communities. We’ve seen prices soar, reliability plummet, and good union jobs disappear. This isn’t just an economic issue – it’s about the quality of life for every Albertan who depends on affordable, reliable electricity.
This report lays bare the failures of the current system and offers a bold vision for change. By re-regulating our electricity generation industry and increasing public ownership across the power sector, we can create a system that works for all Albertans, not just corporate shareholders.
We’re calling for the creation of Alberta Power, a new Crown corporation that would put control of our electricity back in the hands of the people. This isn’t just about lower bills – it’s about creating good jobs, ensuring a stable grid, and accelerating our transition to clean energy.
As workers and as citizens, we have the right to demand better. We urge you to read this report, share it widely, and join us in the fight for an electricity system that serves the public interest.
