Adam Roe – Director, Integration – Alberta Energy Regulator

As a part of the evolving energy sector in Alberta, Adam Roe has been at the centre of the most significant regulatory transformation in a generation. Over the last decade Adam has provided a key role in building a new regulatory framework for oil, gas, coal and oil sands development from drafting of legislation, to implementing regulatory processes and technology systems, and most of everything in between.

Adam’s journey into regulation began as a boy in Alberta interested in science and soccer (mostly soccer), which in turn led him to gain a degree in chemistry while playing for his university’s varsity soccer team – an experience which drives Adam’s passion for teamwork to this day. Chemistry led to work and further studies on environmental issues culminating in an advanced degree in water science, policy and management. Through his studies Adam was introduced to the world of regulation.

Since the late 2000’s Adam has worked for various arms of the Alberta provincial government, most recently with the Alberta Energy Regulator. Starting with operational practice of regulating water allocation, Adam has expanded his work into broader policy issues and the energy sector. Adam is currently a lead within a diverse team actively remaking the regulatory space for energy development in Alberta. Through his work Adam applies his knowledge and experience for solving regulatory and policy issues and developing high-functioning teams to deliver value for the public.
