CER launches online portal for faster, easier filings

The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) has launched the CER Portal, a secure, one‑window access point for certain regulatory filings. The Portal improves how the CER processes applications, saving time, reducing effort and improving regulatory efficiency.

Companies can securely submit project notifications and applications for pipelines under 40km in length online (Section 214 of the CER Act). Impacted Canadians, including landowners and Indigenous communities, can also use the Portal to easily submit Statements of Concern about these projects.

Designed with input from regulated industry, Indigenous People and stakeholders, the Portal:

The CER plans to add more capabilities and submission types to the Portal in the future and will ensure users are supported as they begin to use the new platform.

“The CER Portal is a transformative step forward for the CER by advancing how we serve Canadians through faster, more transparent, and efficient regulatory processes. It demonstrates our commitment to regulatory excellence as we further streamline and improve regulatory processes, which helps improve Canada’s global competitiveness.”
