"What is the Alberta Energy Regulator?

The Alberta Energy Regulator, or AER, provides for the safe, efficient, orderly, and environmentally responsible development of energy resources.  This includes allocating and conserving water resources, managing public lands, and protecting the environment while providing economic benefits for all Albertans. " (Governance Fact Sheet, March 2014, para. 1)

"How is the AER structured?

The AER's governance structure is designed to benefit both from strong corporate oversight and from independent adjudication. The corporate, operational, and governance responsibilities have been separate from adjudicative functions (i.e. hearings on energy applications); this is a significant change from the previous model where these functions were combined." (Governance Fact Sheet, March 2014, para.2)
