The Offshore Renewable Energy Regulations (ORER) is an initiative led by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) to develop modern safety and environmental protection regulations that will apply to exploration, construction, operation and decommissioning activities related to renewable energy projects and power lines in Canada’s offshore areas.
NRCan drafted a technical requirements paper to detail to government, stakeholder and Indigenous participants the proposed requirements that will form the basis of future regulations. The requirements are divided into the following Parts:
NRCan was seeking feedback on these proposed requirements. econext, through The Net Zero Project collaboration, has submitted a response from the Newfoundland and Labrador perspective which can be downloaded here.
About The Net Zero Project
The Net Zero Project is a collaboration within the energy and environmental industries to drive economic growth, diversification, investment, and awareness through the lens of sustainability and the pursuit of net zero in Newfoundland and Labrador’s energy sector.
The initiative supports the development of clean growth strategies and projects in priority areas of Canada’s net zero journey as they relate to its offshore energy industry: carbon capture, utilization, and storage; electrification and renewable energy; and hydrogen.
The Net Zero Project was formed by econext, Noia, and the Oil and Gas Corporation of Newfoundland and Labrador. More information on the initiative can be found at http://netzeroproject.ca/.
