econext seeking member input on development of Canadian offshore renewable energy regulations

NOTE: This opportunity has expired or is an event which has already taken place.

Natural Resources Canada has drafted a technical requirements paper to detail to government, stakeholder and Indigenous participants the proposed requirements that will form the basis of future regulations for offshore renewable energy projects. The paper can be downloaded here. The requirements are divided into the following parts:

General Requirements
Site Assessment Activities Requirements
Transportation, Construction, Installation and Commissioning Activities Requirements
Operations and Maintenance Activities Requirements
Decommissioning, Repowering, and/or Life Extension Activities Requirements

NRCan is seeking feedback on these proposed requirements to ensure future regulations follow the highest standards, are comprehensive and enforceable, and are flexible enough to respond to a rapidly changing sector.

econext will be providing NRCan feedback based on the perspectives of its members and partners, and needs your help! Please contact econext’s Executive Director Kieran Hanley at kieran@econext.ca with any comments and/or feedback that you may have by Friday, February 18, 2022.

Feedback can also be provided directly to NRCan by February 21, 2022. More information on NRCan’s offshore renewable energy regulations initiative can be found at https://www.rncanengagenrcan.ca/en/collections/offshore-renewable-energy-regulations-initiative.
