2021–22 Annual Report of the Commission of the Canada Energy Regulator – Appendix F: Post-Approval Compliance

The CER expects that companies identify and mitigate risks before they begin a project. When a risk is identified during the review of an application, the Commission of the Canada Energy Regulator (the Commission) may impose project-specific conditions to reduce risks, prevent harm, promote safety, and protect the environment.

If a project is approved, the CER will oversee the construction and operation of the project through a variety of post-approval matters, that inform safety and environmental oversight. Condition compliance and related documents were received by the CER for 51 different projects in 2021–22. When any of the filings received require a regulatory decision, the matter is brought to the Commission for decision.

The table below outlines the projects for which many post-approval filings were received. Many projects are not listed for brevity purposes.
