The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) has engaged the University of Pennsylvania to undertake an intensive eight-month study on how the AER can become a best-in-class regulator.

The study process includes gathering the perspectives of a variety of stakeholders that engage with the AER or are impacted by energy projects in Alberta.

To provide your input on what characteristics a best-in-class regulator should have, complete the brief survey at the University of Pennsylvania’s Best-In-Class Regulator Initiative website.

The AER is the single regulator for energy development in Alberta, and is involved in all stages of an energy project, including application, exploration, construction, abandonment, reclamation and remediation. The AER makes decisions on project applications, monitors the environmental compliance of energy projects, and is involved in all other aspects of energy resource development.
