The Energy Roundtable

Panel: The energy outlook

The 2026 energy outlook points to rising natural gas prices, increased oil and gas capital spending driven by better market access and overall economic growth with an optimistic Alberta provincial government focus on energy development and diversification, despite lingering trade uncertainty. While the MOU signed between Alberta and the federal government has put relations on much more solid ground, the key question for Canadian producers continues to be political and regulatory risk around major projects, including for market access. Recent developments in Venezuela and the potential for that country’s oil to compete with Canadian exports into the US means diversification is a higher priority than ever. The panel will provide perspectives on energy development in Canada going forward.
