Alison is accelerating Alberta’s clean energy transformation while situating the Energy Futures Lab (EFL) as the heartbeat of multi-stakeholder innovation. Under her guidance, the EFL has tripled in size, becoming a powerful enabler in the energy transition. In just two years, Alison has overseen the launch of 35 groundbreaking projects, from sustainable aviation fuels to clean energy ventures supported by diverse entrepreneurs. With hundreds of energy leaders engaging annually, Alison has not only shaped provincial and federal policies, but also galvanized thousands of Albertans to leap into opportunities in a low-emission future. Alison’s approach, blending strategic insight with bold action, has made the EFL a dynamic force for change, proving that a prosperous and inclusive energy transition is possible, and has the potential to transform entire industries.
