December 22, 2010
The Energy Council of Canada has recognized Steve Snyder, President and CEO of TransAlta as its winner of this year’s ‘Energy Person of the Year’ award. The gala event, which took place in Calgary, was attended by leaders of the oil, natural gas and electricity industry as well as government leaders including the Honourable Ed Stelmach, Premier of Alberta, Honourable Ron Leipert, Alberta Minister of Energy and Serge Dupont, deputy minister of Natural Resources Canada.
Steve talked about the future of Canada’s energy sector in his acceptance speech. Now, TransAlta is not only a leader in the electricity sector, but also Canada’s largest developer of wind power. By the end of this year the company will operate (and own) 18 commercial wind farms – with more than 1,000 MW of installed capacity which is about 30 per cent of Canada’s total installed capacity.
