Canada’s Primary Safety and Economic Energy Regulator

Lifecycle Regulator

We regulate pipelines, energy development and trade in the Canadian public interest. We ensure energy projects are built, operated, and abandoned safely. Safety and environmental protection are at the core of what we do.

Effective Adjudication Processes

Since 2019, we have assessed 4,216 infrastructure, tolls and tariffs, northern, export, and other applications. We met our legislated time limits for infrastructure project reviews 99% of the time.

Energy Information

We publish timely, relevant, and neutral energy information products that inform and educate policymakers, industry, and everyday Canadians about the energy conversation.

Innovative and Adaptable

We continue to innovate in how we meet our mandate, finding new ways to be fast, flexible, efficient, inclusive and transparent.

Building Meaningful Relationships

We invest in lasting relationships with Indigenous Peoples, municipal and provincial/territorial governments, and stakeholders to build trust and confidence in our regulatory oversight. Meaningful Indigenous involvement in regulatory oversight complements economic Reconciliation.

Cost Recovered

Our operating costs are 99% recovered from our regulated industry, which means industry, not everyday taxpayers, pays for our work.
