Dale Nally  Alberta Minister Nally’s key priority is ensuring long-term stability, investment attraction and growth in Alberta's natural gas and electricity sectors.

Since his appointment, Minister Nally spearheaded the development of Alberta’s Natural Gas Vision and Strategy, which created an industry-supported plan to grow the hydrogen, petrochemical, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and plastics recycling sectors. He has also launched the Alberta Petrochemical Incentive Program (APIP), which is anticipated to drive billions of dollars of investment in Alberta’s leading petrochemical sector.
