Energy companies will be charged 20 per cent more for the right to develop Alberta's oil and gas resources, Premier Ed Stelmach revealed in a long-awaited announcement Thursday.

Introducing what he called "a framework for a new century," Stelmach said oil and gas companies will be paying $1.4 billion more a year in royalties starting in 2009.

That figure is 25 per cent less than the $2 billion recommended by a government-appointed panel that reviewed the royalty formula, which had not changed since 1992.

"We recognize energy is a volatile industry. There is risk and there is reward. So when oil prices go up, the royalty goes up," Stelmach said in a news conference in Calgary.+ r. f# f+ v( T+ }
