Alberta Energy Regulator
The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) is an Alberta corporation, with its main office in Calgary, Alberta. The Alberta Energy Regulator's mandate under the ''Responsible Energy Development Act'', passed on 10 December 2012 and proclaimed on 17 June 2013,〔 is to provide safe, efficient, orderly, and environmentally responsible development of energy resources in the province. Under the ''REDA'', the Progressive Conservatives established the AER in December 2012 to provide one-stop shop for regulatory approvals after industry complained about the delays and costs of red tape. The legislation combined duties of the Energy Resources Conservation Board with responsibilities of Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development to create a single entity to administer the Public Lands Act,〔https://www.canlii.org/en/ab/laws/stat/rsa-2000-c-p-40/latest/rsa-2000-c-p-40.html〕 the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act〔http://www.qp.alberta.ca/documents/acts/e12.pdf〕 and the Water Act.〔https://www.canlii.org/en/ab/laws/stat/rsa-2000-c-w-3/latest/rsa-2000-c-w-3.html〕〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Alberta Energy )〕 The AER operates at arm’s length from the Government of Alberta, under an appointed board of directors headed by Chair Gerry Protti, a former president of the oil industry lobby Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, and CEO Jim Ellis,〔 appointed by Energy Minister Ken Hughes. On 17 June 2013, all regulatory functions previously carried out by the Energy Resources Conservation Board were taken over by the Alberta Energy Regulator.〔http://www.aer.ca/about-aer/media-centre/news-releases/news-release-2013-06-17〕
The Alberta Energy Regulator "regulates approximately 181,000 active wells, more than 50,000 oil and gas facilities, and of pipelines." The AER also "considers some 36,800 applications for energy development every year."〔
In an interview in June 2015 Alberta Premier Rachel Notley expressed concerns that the AER appeared to have a "conflicting mandate" as both an energy promoter and "the primary vehicle of environmental protection in Alberta" and considered splitting it. She was concerned that AER had "responsibility for most of the environmental protection and monitoring part and standards development within the energy sector."〔 Some in the oil industry insiders, such as Bill Andrew, CEO of Long Run Exploration, supports splitting up "AER’s functions because the current regulator has too much on its plate"〔 Others, however such as Gary Leach, president of the Explorers and Producers Association of Canada, argue that AER's primary role is "environmental protection, public safety and resource conservation — not the promotion of energy development." and that the AER "looked to by many jurisdictions in North America and around the world as a leading regulator for energy projects."〔
==History==
Energy regulation in Alberta has a 76-year history, evolving over time to meet changing technologies and public needs. Following its creation in 1938 with the Petroleum and Natural Gas Conservation Board, the regulatory body has consistently overseen energy development in the province. It has existed under several names throughout its history, including the Oil and Gas Conservation Board, the Energy and Utilities Board, and the Energy Resources Conservation Board. The Alberta Energy Regulator builds off of this legacy, but it is, under the ''Responsible Energy Development Act,'' an entirely new organization with new regulatory functions and authority over energy-related applications and developments.
