Premier Scott Moe and Energy and Resources Minister Colleen Young are leading a mission to the world’s premier energy conference this week in Houston. The theme this year is Moving Ahead: Energy strategies for a complex world. Premier Moe says while in Houston, their focus will be on emphasizing the province’s leadership in responsible energy development, sustainability and innovation.

He will be participating in a spotlight session titled “The Giant of the North: Canada’s Energy Future” tomorrow, which focuses on Canada’s role in global energy security and Saskatchewan’s contributions to emissions reductions, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and energy sector innovation. The Saskatchewan delegation is also meeting with numerous energy companies to advance investment in this province.

Moe points out that Saskatchewan is one of the only jurisdictions that produces crude oil, natural gas, uranium, biofuels, wind and hydro power and is also an emerging player in the lithium sector.
