Powering the future: Canada adopts a dynamic energy strategy

In the latest episode of the Energy Connects podcast, ahead of Global Energy Show Canada in June, we examine how Canada is advancing from energy transition to full-scale transformation. Featuring insights from Hon. Tim Hodgson, Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources and Danielle Smith, the Premier of Alberta, host Chiranjib Sengupta explores the rise of sovereign compute, growing AI-driven power demand, and the push for large-scale decarbonisation. Minister Hodgson and Premier Smith talk about the critical role of CCS, hydrogen, and data centre-led infrastructure growth, alongside efforts to build resilient and secure energy systems. The discussion highlights how policy, technology and resource strength are aligning to shape the next phase of energy intelligence in Canada and beyond.
