BATON ROUGE, LA – Today, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry announced that the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada, has joined the Governors' Coalition for Energy Security (GCES), becoming the second Canadian province to have joined the organization.

 

Launched in September, the GCES was founded by Gov. Landry and former New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu to help Americans tackle the high costs of energy and accelerating energy cost inflation. Saskatchewan’s membership reflects its shared interest with the other members in ensuring affordable, reliable and cleaner energy for their citizens. 

 

Saskatchewan Premier Moe joins Landry and 10 other colleagues: Governor Kay Ivey (AL), Governor Brian P. Kemp (GA), Governor Bill Lee (TN), Governor Eric J. Holcomb (IN), Governor Mark Gordon (WY), Governor Huckabee Sanders (AR), Governor Tate Reeves (MS), Governor J. Kevin Stitt (OK), Governor Glenn Youngkin (VA) and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. Former Governor Kristi Noem (SD) and Sununu were initial members. 

 

“Saskatchewan’s joining demonstrates the growing recognition in governments in both the U.S. and Canada that energy issues are fundamental to the economic and day-to-day well-being of our citizens and economy,” Governor Landry said. “We welcome Premier Scott Moe and the insight he will bring to help us enhance and protect energy options, lower energy costs, and increase reliability for our people.”

 

“It is an honor to join the Governors Coalition for Energy Security and I thank Governor Landry for the invitation. Saskatchewan is abundant in oil, high-grade uranium, and critical minerals, which are vital to both our local economy and North American energy security. As a stable and dependable partner, Saskatchewan plays a crucial role in securing energy resources, strengthened by the strong relationship we maintain with our neighbors to the south,” Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said.  

 

GCES is committed to ensuring families and businesses have the right to choose the energy they need, to minimize permitting and other regulatory barriers, limit expensive energy mandates, focus on affordability and reliability of energy infrastructure, and to coordinate to positively manage energy resources and the environment.
