Alberta Reaches Settlement with Two Coal Companies Suing over Policy Flip-Flop

  • On July 3, Alberta settled with Evolve Power Ltd. and Atrum Coal Ltd. in the $16 billion coal lawsuit, resolving part of the legal dispute amid ongoing negotiations.
  • Following policy reversals in 2020, 2022, and January 2025, companies claim Alberta's coal policy shifts effectively expropriated their assets, leading to lawsuits.
  • Alberta’s year-end financial report shows a $356 million expense overrun mainly due to settlement of litigation claims and oil sales costs, with deal details kept confidential.
  • Policy reversals have decimated investor confidence, with the largest Australian long/short fund refusing further investment in Alberta, as Evolve's CEO declined to comment.
  • Following recent settlements, Northback filed a separate claim in June 2024, while Cabin Ridge and Black Eagle have not disclosed any settlement decisions.
