Canada Energy Regulator The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) is Canada’s national energy regulator and this is an official Government of Canada page.

French: https://www.facebook.com/REC.CER/ The CER regulates pipelines, power lines, energy development and trade in the Canadian public interest. Canada’s energy landscape is constantly evolving, defined by the ever growing interest from the public in this country’s energy system. As Canada’s federal energy regulator, the CER knows it has a vital role to play in this system – protecting what matters most: lands, water, environment, jobs, communities, safety, and well-being. Regulating with excellence or “regulatory excellence” drives what the CER does and how it does it. From the day to day activities to new initiatives, the CER consistently strives to set the bar a little bit higher - because Canadians deserve a credible regulator they can rely on. One that provides assurance it will always take the steps necessary to protect them and the environment; one that provides neutral fact based energy information; one that provides multiple platforms for meaningful engagement. Adding Facebook to the CER’s social media toolkit provides another avenue for us to reach out. We welcome your input, ideas and conversations, and look forward to engaging with you online.

Two important firsts on the Westcoast Sunrise Expansion Project demonstrate how environmental protection and Indigenous inclusion come together in regulatory oversight.

Our Inspection Officers and Lheidli T'enneh Land Guardians conducted Sunrise's first environmental field inspection during early construction near McLeod Lake, B.C. The inspection also marked the first use of the Indigenous Monitoring program on the project.

The inspection included mainline and facility upgrades, as well as preparation work for a watercourse crossing at the Parsnip River.

Working together in the field helps build relationships. It also strengthens our shared understanding of the environmental considerations associated with energy infrastructure projects and helps turn observations into action.

Together, We Make a Difference! We kicked off our annual Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign (GCWCC - CCMTGC) this past week with an uplifting speech from United Way Ambassador Hervé Lamah. Thank you for inspiring us to step up for change in our communities this GCWCC campaign.

CER is proud to take part in Canada’s leading workplace charitable campaign every year. GCWCC supports at-risk Canadians by raising awareness and donations for United Way and Health Partners. Together, we can each place a brick on the path to change.

For the next Canada’s Energy Future report, CER Chief Economist Darren Christie and the team are examining how Canada’s energy future could be shaped by key drivers, from investor confidence and global demand to AI and major projects.

“The two new scenarios let us turn the dial on some of the biggest questions facing Canada’s economy today – trade patterns, AI, major projects, and investor behaviour – to explore how they could affect the future of energy in Canada.”
