Nathan Neudorf, MLA for Lethbridge East, reported significant accomplishments in 2025, including the construction of three new schools, funding for water and wastewater treatments, and the establishment of a catheterization lab and modernized dialysis unit that will increase patient capacity by 40%. As Minister of Utilities and Affordability, he passed two bills aimed at lowering utility costs and protecting ratepayers.

Bill 52 allows hydrogen blending in the electricity market, while Bill 8 prioritizes data centers that generate their own power. Neudorf faced challenges, notably a recall petition approved by Elections Alberta, which he denied any involvement in.

He emphasized the need for adequate funding for Elections Alberta. Neudorf highlighted a historic memorandum of understanding with the federal government, aiming for $6 billion in private investment, potentially expanding to $18 billion. Looking ahead to 2026, he aims to advance nuclear energy initiatives and strengthen intergovernmental agreements.
