Premier Jason Kenney announces the Carbon Tax Repeal Act to end Alberta's carbon tax by the end of May, claiming $1.4 billion yearly savings for taxpayers. He notes the move could invite Ottawa's federal carbon pricing, while opposition NDP leader Rachel Notley criticizes the plan as paving the way for a Trudeau Ottawa tax.

City winds down Medicine Hat solar thermal project
Medicine Hat will wind down its solar thermal site after cost overruns and public criticism. The parabolic mirror array near the main power plant will not operate this summer as planners seek an alternate use, possibly a renewable energy park. Alberta Innovates holds the operational data, with officials noting the aim was learning, not commercialization.
