Alberta is entering 2025 with nearly a dozen legal challenges against the federal government’s policies.

In the waning days of 2024, the province said it’s preparing to launch a legal challenge against Ottawa’s clean electricity regulations, even though the government pushed its target date to fully decarbonize electricity grids from 2035 to 2050. The province, which relies heavily on natural gas for energy generation, says what the feds intend to regulate falls under provincial jurisdiction.
