The Alberta–Montana relationship delivers tangible economic and strategic benefits to Montana, anchored in deeply integrated energy, trade, and infrastructure ties. Alberta is a reliable supplier of crude oil, natural gas, and refined products that support Montana’s refineries, power generation, and fuel affordability for households and industry. Cross-border infrastructure enhances grid reliability and provides access to competitively priced energy, strengthening Montana’s energy security. Beyond energy, Alberta is a key trading partner, supporting jobs across agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, and transportation, with more than $5 billion in annual two-way trade. This partnership reinforces Montana’s economic resilience while positioning the state as a critical gateway for North American energy and commerce.
