So $115 instead of $170 by 2030. But there is a lot of talk without much details about this TIER tightening and actually increasing the effective price before 2030. references to stridency rates and tightening and price floor but no specific details on how quickly
Canada and Alberta have agreed to an effective carbon price of $130 per tonne by 2040.
This will be achieved by agreed upon annual benchmarks for the headline carbon price, including $115 by 2030 and $130 by 2035.
The headline carbon price will increase to $140 per tonne by 2040.
Canada and Alberta have also agreed to annual tightening, or “stringency” rates under the Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) system. These tightening rates will gradually strengthen emissions benchmarks over time.
Alberta has committed to enforcing a minimum floor price for TIER credits beginning in 2030. This is a critical “insurance policy” that will prevent carbon markets from collapsing and will provide a binding price for investment certainty.
Canada and Alberta will jointly issue 75 million tonnes of Carbon Contracts for Difference (CFDs) to support emissions-reduction projects, with costs shared equally between Canada and Alberta.

"stronger, more effective industrial carbon pricing" In 2021 the GoC published clear criteria that the effective price in an output based system like Alberta must be aligned with the headline price by 2023. That means an effective price of $130 before 2028. Under the MOU it is $130 by 2040.

First off - no this does not maintain a path to net-zero by 2050. This matters. If GoC wants to change its policies on climate that is of course within their elected right to do so. But they can't change the policy to make it less stringent and then claim it is on a path to net zero.
To that end, we must build our strength at home and diversify our export markets abroad. To advance these shared

missions, in November, Canada and Alberta signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that unlocks the full

potential of Alberta's energy resources, drives massive new investments in renewable energy, and effectively

reduces emissions. The MOU shifts energy and climate policy from rigid regulations to a pragmatic, responsible,

and cooperative approach. The MOU is built on practical solutions: stronger, more effective industrial carbon

pricing, major private sector investments in clean technologies, and expanded, responsible energy development for

the workers and communities who rely on it. It will provide certainty to investors, advance meaningful
reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, and maintain a path to net-zero by 2050.
