The National Energy Board (NEB) is Canada’s federal energy regulator. We regulate pipelines, energy development and trade on behalf of Canadians in a way that protects the public and the environment while supporting efficient markets. People count on us to keep them safe, to protect their communities and lands, to prevent market inefficiencies, and to reflect their interests in our decisions and recommendations.

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.

Energy plays a fundamental role in our lives. From the food we eat and the homes we live in to the functioning of Canada’s industries: everything requires energy in one form or another. Canada’s landscape is rich with diverse and abundant energy sources which are used to fuel the economy.
