Global Energy Supply Facing the Largest Disruption in History, Says Canadian Energy Minister Tim Hudak

March 25, Kathmandu – Canadian Energy Minister Tim Hudak has stated that the world is currently experiencing the largest disruption in energy supply in history.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Minister Hudak mentioned that Canadian producers are well-positioned to ensure alternative energy supplies.

Speaking during the CERAWeek Energy Conference in Houston, Hudak said, “The importance of energy security for our national security and that of our partner nations had not been as clearly recognized for such an extended period. In many ways, this is Canada’s moment.”

He added, “The war in Iran has placed Asian countries in a crisis similar to the one Europe faced after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Back then, rising energy prices threatened to cripple much of the economy.”

Highlighting the global state of desperation, he stressed, “They need a reliable supplier.”
