Alberta Energy Regulator

The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) is a government organization responsible for overseeing the safe, responsible, and environmentally sound development of energy resources—like oil, natural gas, and pipelines—in Alberta. It sets regulations, issues permits, monitors industry activities, and enforces rules to protect public safety, land, water, and air quality. The AER aims to balance energy development with environmental stewardship, ensuring companies follow legal standards and manage risks effectively. It serves as the primary authority to regulate and oversee Alberta’s energy industry, fostering responsible resource management and sustainable growth.
