The National Energy Board (NEB) is Canada’s federal energy regulator. Preventing harm is at the heart of what a regulator does. People count on us to keep them safe, to protect the environment, to prevent market inefficiencies and to listen to what they have to say so that we can make informed decisions and recommendations in the Canadian public interest.

Canada’s energy system is also integral to the broader economy, as it enables the production and delivery of goods and services, and is a key driver of research, development, and innovation. The energy system touches all aspects of our daily lives, from running our vehicles to heating our homes and powering our electronics.

The mission of the NEB is to regulate pipelines, energy development and trade on behalf of Canadians in a way that protects the public and the environment while supporting efficient markets.
